The formula for a hit is saying what people want to hear.

Latinos been a part of hip-hop culture and every other culture; we've been influential in every aspect of life.

I make hits.

There's millions of gay people in the world. In 2011, you've got to hide that you're gay? Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, be real.

It feels like we all win when Joe wins. People know the struggle, everything I had to overcome. People feel like that's them winning. If Joe could do it, they could do it.

We go after legacies because we just know that, sooner or later, people will understand what we bring to this culture and bring to the game.

There's two systems of health care: the one for the rich that's really good, then there's the one for the inner city, where they leave ladies in the emergency room unattended for 24 hours until they drop dead.

I would love to coach. I'm not saying I'm qualified to do it in the N.B.A., but I would love to try.

Who you know, 10 albums later, get better than he's ever been before? It's hard. To come from all this huge success like a 'What's Love,' and a 'Lean Back,' then take it back to the street with 'The Darkside.'

Minorities have been hustling backwards from check to check.

J. R. Smith's incredible, man, just incredible off the bench.

See, me, I don't run away. During my successes or my failures, I put it on me.

The 'hood don't really wanna hear it, but you need brown rice, you need wheat bread, stuff like that.

I wish we had more diversity.

Comfort and simplicity are two keys that I follow when it comes to fashion.

I am diabetic. So diet control is a pre-given for me.

I was born in Karachi, where my father used to work in the sales department of a pharmaceutical company. The nature of his job required him to travel, so we moved to Athens, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, and Riyadh and then went to Manchester during the Gulf War, moving back to Lahore closer to my father's retirement.

If one wants to take a stand on something, one must be very educated about it.

I read the 'Kapoor & Sons' script in a half hour, forty five minutes. Not because I skimming through it... I read it like a book. By the end, I was blown away. I picked up the phone and said, 'This script is gold.'

I'm a quiet person. It's only when I am cued to talk that I talk. Otherwise, I'm reserved and a bit of a recluse.

Everyone has different interests, but instead of constructive learning, people generally tend to lean towards the negative... and I think social media has somehow given fuel to this kind of thinking.

The motto of my life is, 'The best advice is no advice at all.'

I have done films only because my roles were good in them. It has got nothing to do with being associated with any particular camp.

Fans are half of an artiste... without someone to appreciate him, an artiste is nothing.

My father is pretty much a self-made man, and I am proud of that. He was born in Patiala and crossed the border from India to Pakistan when he was four.

My wife is not insecure at all. She is one of the most sensible persons I know.

I was an angry young man, a rebel without a cause, and I channeled my emotions into my music.

I've adopted a diet that minimises high glycemic index carbs, coupled with lean protein sources and a mix of vegetables.

Obviously, I'm not a man of steel in that people's words don't affect me. They might hurt me. But I am becoming immune to it as time goes by.

Remember, the fit of your outfit can make or break your look. Ensure the fit is perfect, and you will be just fine.

I don't think anyone gets bored of being called good-looking. We are all vain in one way or another.

One must be prepared for some surprises in life - some things will work out your way, some won't. You just have to keep working and do things to the best of your ability.

Being trendy is alright, but clubbing all the trends in one look is a complete no.

If I'm going to talk about something, I need to be educated about it, and I need to have seen all the perspectives.

There is no comparison between the life of a rock star and an actor. If I could now, I would be a rock star within a blink of an eye. So as far as music is concerned, yeah, I might just go back to it, but don't want to be unfair to it. It requires its proper time and space.

I observe a lot, and I try to pick out what looks good on me. I like to keep it basic and simple. Never too flashy. Remember, whatever suits you is the best, and it doesn't necessarily have to be the trend or the rave of the season.

I have developed my own brand of acting, and fortunately, people like it.

During college, I didn't really have an interest in what I was studying. It was during college that I first stumbled into forming an underground band where I was the lead vocalist. I had always had an ear for music, but nothing more than that. And that good ear of mine led me to learn and play a lot of instruments while in college.

I have been in love with my wife since I was 17. She has always been my strongest support. Even when I didn't have this fame, she was there.

The time I'm truly happy is when I'm playing with my son. We just mentally connect. There's nothing more fulfilling than playtime with him.

I like to discuss my condition publicly because if I, with this disability, am able to fulfill some of my ambitions, so can other diabetics.

I don't like it when people remain glued to their phones while talking, so I have no apps on mine.

I think I've managed to Forrest Gump my way though life.

I've been penniless. I've had to struggle a bit. But now I enjoy thinking about that because it just makes me feel better about my achievements.

I am an immature person, and I am very lazy, too.

Growing up, I loved films like 'A Streetcar Named Desire' and 'On the Waterfront' and became a huge fan of Marlon Brando.

I self-taught myself music at 19-20.

I do give interviews, but I am generally media-shy because I am an introvert by nature.

With social media, I think it becomes a little more intrusive. People have more access to you. It's obviously very flattering, all the love and affection that you get, and then there's also the downside of it: sometimes things don't go your way.

As a musician, I have sung, composed, and played instruments, and a lesser-known fact is that I have composed 20-30 ad jingles as well.
