QUOTES by R. Madhavan
Find most favourite and famour Authors from A.A Milne to Zoe Kravitz.
I would prefer to work for directors who give me the script and written screenplay at the outset.
Quote by -R. Madhavan
I have found out what I am allergic to, and I am trying to avoid that in my daily food intake.
Quote by -R. Madhavan
I had built my body to look like a boxer, then I lost it completely for 'Tanu Weds Manu Returns.' It was really tough gaining weight, building muscles, and then losing it completely for another film.
Quote by -R. Madhavan
I don't mind being called Maddy at all, but I mind the closeness that you assume you get by calling me by my pet name. So merely by calling me Maddy, I don't give you the authority to come and put your hand around my shoulder.
Quote by -R. Madhavan
One needs to be super intelligent and have an above-average IQ to be able to work in movies.
Quote by -R. Madhavan
I'm a Gemini, and my attention span is limited. So, I don't dwell on long-term goals.
Quote by -R. Madhavan
For me, my realism has stood me over 15 years, so the kind of films that I have done has garnered enough respect for me to be able to survive the industry.
Quote by -R. Madhavan
It is not easy to lose or gain weight. The diet and the exercise regime should be compatible with your body, or else you end up with wrinkles and hair loss.
Quote by -R. Madhavan
I hail from a small town, Jamshedpur. From childhood, I've been constantly surrounded by people who are not so urban.
Quote by -R. Madhavan
I am a hardcore Bihari boy. I am born and brought up in Bihar, and for me, ethnicity is not a problem and is inbuilt in me.
Quote by -R. Madhavan
If you say actors have a social responsibility to do things, you are right, in a way. It's a wishful decision. But if it's done out of force, I don't think it will accomplish anything. Everybody starts counting how much work they have done and see if they have done their due for the week. That is not social service. You need to go way beyond that.
Quote by -R. Madhavan
I use the Net for a lot of things besides e-mailing. I involve myself in chats with people as part of my research for characters.
Quote by -R. Madhavan
Normally, my birthdays are very quiet. I go to the temple with my family and later take blessing from my parents. A few friends come over to my house, and we talk about the year gone by.
Quote by -R. Madhavan
I am very choosy about my films. I don't do a film just for the sake of money.
Quote by -R. Madhavan
I've realised that to make a successful film, you have to be with a unit which is happy and positive from the beginning.
Quote by -R. Madhavan
I always take part in the creative process of every film of mine. Gone are the days where an actor would walk into the sets, finish his portions, take the money, and leave. In fact, I've been accused of being interfering - but that's the way I am. It is important for every actor to get involved with the script.
Quote by -R. Madhavan
When I listen to scripts, I never ask who my co-star is - instead, I ask about the characters and the producers of the particular venture.
Quote by -R. Madhavan
I am a Tambrahm born and brought up in Jamshedpur 20 years of my life, as my father worked for the Tatas there. My mother was a chief manager in the Bank of India and the only lady manager in Bihar in those times.
Quote by -R. Madhavan
People of Maharashtra are close to my heart, and this is where I became who I am, and this has been instrumental in my formative years.
Quote by -R. Madhavan
I can't dance like Hrithik Roshan. I don't have the necessary glamour like some of the other actors do. They are able to sell themselves on that aspect. I do roles and films which are very realistic. So, in those films, if you don't get into the skin of it, they won't look convincing.
Quote by -R. Madhavan
Any story, any screenplay can only happen if the whole unit is professionally working towards it.
Quote by -R. Madhavan
When you go into the realm of a double role, you have to take it to another level to make it believable.
Quote by -R. Madhavan
I am one of those people who are really short-tempered, but I don't lose it unless it is justified.
Quote by -R. Madhavan
If you do not have a good script, then no matter what the genre is, the film will not be a success.
Quote by -R. Madhavan
I was really lucky and blessed to have had the likes of directors such as Mani Ratnam and Rajkumar Hirani in my career.
Quote by -R. Madhavan
It's very embarrassing to talk of your own work before shooting for it and even before it is released. I have been a witness to many of our actors turning red-faced after their films release. I'd rather not be there.
Quote by -R. Madhavan
As an actor, I would never agree if a newcomer doesn't give me a final word on the script. If it is well-written, then you need not speak to me. I will speak for you.
Quote by -R. Madhavan
There's no one beating Mr. Bachchan when it comes to acting. He is outstanding. He is a phenomenal actor and a thorough gentleman. His natural skills at acting just bowled me over, and I've become an even bigger fan of his after working with him.
Quote by -R. Madhavan
If you ask me to get a six-pack in the interim between signing a film, I will not do it. I enjoy food and will be happy to feed myself a pizza or two and gorge on cakes. But, I have good control over my body.
Quote by -R. Madhavan
The thing about organic farming is that the produce will not look the same. Your tomato will not resemble the rich red one from the textbook, and that's the beauty of it.
Quote by -R. Madhavan
I've done some wonderful performance on TV even better than films. But once people watch it, they just forget it. The impact is not strong. So, films and TV are different.
Quote by -R. Madhavan
I struggle on many fronts on having to move to a different level, having to cater to constantly evolving audiences.
Quote by -R. Madhavan
I don't think there's anymore chocolate boy left in me... Like, if I do the roles on the screen that border on romance, it will be age-appropriate.
Quote by -R. Madhavan
When it comes to filmmaking, we have to deal with ego, anger, and a lot more; barring all these, how the team works towards the outcome matters.
Quote by -R. Madhavan
Oh, I have very limited will power. I wish I could change that. I am working on it, though. I am too easygoing.
