Our school not only makes you an actor, it makes you understand who you actually are as well... it gives you discipline and punctuality. It also teaches you a way of life.
I started doing motivational tours. I've seen all kinds of people, from the CEOs to the lowest executive, opening up to their fears. We don't introspect as much as we should.
Practice makes an actor excel. It is like cycling and motor driving. It is an art, which can be learnt and practised.
Success is boring... failure is exciting and more entertaining.
Actors in the film industry are usually wary of expressing their opinions on the issues of the day, politics especially.
I'm not a cribber, or someone who criticises. People who criticise are not doers. I'm a doer.
It's your own fear of failure that stops you from doing things.
Every time I've crossed to a new level of film acting, the film has been a breakthrough project.
I approach every role with the same commitment because I'm being paid for it. To not do so would be unethical.
After working with Woody Allen, sharing screen space with De Niro was a dream come true.

Drama school, you know, I own an acting school, Actor Prepares.
Every individual suffers from the fear of failure, but you can change your destiny only when you overcome it.
