To me, the trick is not how can I make people laugh. It is, how can I make people laugh in a different way.

The idea is to do out-of-the-box films that showcase my versatility and talent.

In a big Bollywood romantic film, taking my shirt off and spreading the hand towards the mountain with dancers behind me are not my cup of tea.

Surround yourself with a bunch of like-minded people, and you'll soak up their habits like a starved sponge. Fat people with fat friends care less about their weight.

I'm a stand-up comedian-turned-actor-turned-vampire at night.

Whatever movies I sign, they have to get me out of my comfort zone. Otherwise, I would get bored very easily.

I am a big fan of Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller, who have carved a niche for themselves. I think doing different kind of films gives you longevity and the ability to set yourself apart.

You realise the responsibility of carrying a film on your shoulders when people are investing money in you and they recognise the hard work you have to put in.

In 'Delhi Belly,' I was bald; in other movies I always carried a different look.

I auditioned nine times for 'Delhi Belly,' and it was torturous!

It may be that you are not yourself luminous, but that you are a conductor of light. Some people without possessing genius have a remarkable power of stimulating it.

Don't let them beat down your spirit and the spirit of your ideas go with reality and what seems natural to you ...transpire within this Universe and together we shall have a goal.

Lack of manners is the sign of a hero.

In great deeds something abides.

Nature generally struggles against this treatment for a while, until her powers seem in a great measure exhausted, when she quietly yields to the power of the art.

At the end of the day girls want jeans that will make them feel confident and sexy, and high-waisted jeans tend to do that.

Create an atmosphere in which anything is possible.
