I enjoy being recognized. I'll be very sad if people stop recognizing me. I'll be very sad if I'm not interviewed, because that's a very amazing process.
I have never judged life. If I had, I would have been a complete mess...
I have played 50 different kinds of fathers and villains. Only mediocre actors play the part the same way.
I know that some of the characters I played were trash. But then, I chose to take up those roles, as I enjoyed doing them.
I speak for Kashmiri pundits because injustice has been done to them, and the political discourse doesn't give them enough importance.
I think if you laugh at your troubles and tell the whole world what went wrong, you can't be frightened by anything.
I was able to overcome my failures because I was always confident of my abilities and was sure I could achieve what I had set out for.
I was neither good in sports nor at studies, but I always wanted to stand out and be noticed.
If my life can inspire people, then a television show where guests talk about their challenges and what makes them unique would work.
It is important to be financially savvy when you turn producer. As a director, you just need to have a good script in hand.
My first British film was Gurinder Chadha's 'Bend It Like Beckham,' which was a huge international success.
My first Hindi film as a leading man was Mahesh Bhatt's 'Saaransh,' which immediately established me as someone who knows the craft.
There are many brilliant actors, including our own Dilip Kumar, but Robert de Niro is something else.
We only see the glamour side of stars but not how they've achieved it.
