Your writings should reflect wise thoughts.

I don't mind playing even a grandfather provided the role is good.

Work satisfaction is important to me.

A film becomes hit with the equal participation of every actors and crew members.

My approach has always been to work so that I can support my family.

I never planned my movies. I never selected subjects to win the National Award. I did films that made the masses happy.

I was such a mama's boy that no one imagined that I could come into the film line. She wanted me to do a bank job.

From a very young age, my dad did not have work, so mummy would look after the house. She would go and sing bhajans and do thumri performances to support the house.

I know there are some powerful people in the industry who don't want me to do well.

I want to be associated with good entertainment.

There's no alternative to hard work.

If you've been associated and successful with a particular kind of acting for so many years, then it's wise to continue in the same direction.

I've a track record of successful comedy films spread over more than a decade.

I want to do quality work in both cinema and politics.

I tried working with the best of directors and producers. I tried being selective, but things didn't work out. Now, I am open to working with anybody and everybody who is good. Or I'll try to make it good. That suits me.

My mother was my world.

Romantic scenes are a part of Bollywood cinema, and if the script demands some kind of intimacy, I have no issues with my daughter doing those scenes.

Jaipur is the hometown of my religious guruji. It has a special place in my heart, and I have been here several times.

I am thankful to my audience, parents, and the media who have supported me over the years.

I try to make my wife happy, but I know my efforts aren't enough.

There are massive camps in Bollywood. I never belonged to any camps, but I think it was a wrong move. I should have had. It affects your career. It's one big family.

I have a flexible body.

Happiness cannot have boundaries.

Breaking apart from someone you love very much can be unbearably painful, but finding yourself again can be a beautiful thing if you do your solitude right.

I didn't know we'd been tagged as posh. I went to a state school in London, so maybe people think I have a posh voice and that's where it comes from?

A 'Clean Bandit' is a total bastard!

If it's a heartbreak-related stress, I like to listen to Lauryn Hill's 'Forgive Them Father' the most, especially the harmonies.

Italy is best for holidays.

Yeah, we're definitely not opposed to working with famous vocalists, but we really want to make sure that it's all about the sound of the voice and how appropriate it is for the song, and not kind of 'getting together with people just for the sake of it' kind of thing.

I often find myself listening to the 'Shipping Forecast' on Radio 4. At first, I am usually wondering what time it is, but then, because often I'm on the other side of the bed and I can't be bothered to turn it off, I just listen and it becomes very relaxing.

Gigs in Scotland are always so much fun.

We built a bit of an audience at our university in Cambridge, playing Beethoven and Mozart quartets.

When something sounds good, I don't think any of the connotations matter.

Neil Amin-Smith and I met playing in classical orchestras when we were children. We are from the same area of London. We met Jack Patterson when we were studying at Cambridge University, and decided to start the band together.

We were introduced to a lot of dance music that we were blown over by. Kidnap Kid we love, WOZ, and Rudimental.

Well, the band name is just a stupid thing. We used to live in Russia and our friend there, a Russian lady just kind of described my sister as a clean bandit.

I'm certainly treated differently to the boys in the band. People make assumptions about what I do and don't do within our projects. We produce our music together and I direct and edit the music videos.

Playing an instrument is such a wonderful pleasure.

We have always played classical music and always loved dance and pop music.

I hope our sound has introduced pop fans to classic and vice versa.

We watch the MOBOs every year and it has always been a dream to be involved.

I'm just so honored to be able to travel around the world and play songs.

When we started the band, it was a classical group.

We get so many kids telling us that they've taken up the violin or cello. It's really special, and it wasn't really our intention in the beginning.

We actually make all of our own music videos. Often we come up with the visual concepts at the same time as writing the music.

Looking back fondly, I think the first gig we did with the electronic stuff was really exciting because it was in this tiny club, like an Elizabethan building with beams.

Mozart's House' had been on our Myspace page for a while and had about 50 views.

I do wish we recorded the early stuff we did, because we basically had an album.

Well, Sean Paul we've always wanted to work with.

Often we make songs with people for us and one for them.
