I feel like this idea of strategic voting has not allowed people to dream big.

I want people to dream big.

We're going to fight a Conservative government, we're going to fight it all the way. We're ready to do whatever it takes.

While people might talk about the divisions in this country, what I've seen is that across this country, we share so much in common, we share so many values, we want to take care of one another - that's what it means to be Canadian.

We want to help Canadians be able to get a home that they can afford.

We're gonna work hard to make sure young people have a future that's filled with hope. That's right. We want young people to be filled with hope.

My parents were loving, caring, generous and thoughtful.

I am proud of the work that I have done in the Sikh community and across Canada.

Terrorism is perpetrated by individuals and cannot be blamed on any one religion, be it Sikhism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, or Christianity.

My belief in human rights includes a fundamental principle that is written into Article 1 of the UN Charter: respect for equal rights and self-determination.

Questions regarding the future of India are not for me to decide. I am not a citizen of India or an Indian politician.

I am focused on building a stronger Canada, a country where we tackle growing inequality, where we unlock the full potential of our citizens and where no one is left behind.

While I was in university, my father became very ill and my father was unable to work. We needed to pay the bills, so in my 20s I became the sole income earner in my family.

Sikhs were considered the champions of fairness, uplifting people, protecting and defending human rights. Defending equality. So when someone sees a Sikh, the turban identifies a person who's going to stand up for rights, even if you disagree with them. The turban is supposed to be a beacon. That someone who is going to help you out.

In the Sikh tradition there is no prohibition of showing your hair. It's not that hair cannot be seen. It's an identity, as opposed to having to cover your hair.

To publicly shame and attack someone who's been found to be harassed, to intimidate someone who's found to already have been harassed is unacceptable.

I have experienced things that I think many Canadians have gone through - the feeling of not belonging, the feeling of being a victim, of being hurt, being marginalized.

I hope that I can find the common thread that connects us all and say: We can build a better Canada together.

What do we believe in? Love and courage.

I am hoping that by breaking barriers myself, I can inspire a whole new generation of people to think 'you know what, maybe I can, not just run a country, maybe I could start a company, maybe I could do something in my own local community to make a positive change.'

I believe that the federal government has significant constitutional powers, but I don't think it's effective to impose pipelines on communities.

British Columbia's got one of the most ambitious climate change plans in North America.

Like many others who stand out, I was picked on.

We're a trading nation. We need to have trade, we rely on it, a vast proportion of our jobs in our country rely on trade agreements.

Hathoda Tyagi is such a strong character despite no dialogues and expression. He's the most difficult to break. It would've been interesting to play him.

I am a dog and a cat lover; doesn't matter which animal it is but dogs are cuter at times.

I think with Shahid Khan I knocked at the door of Indian cinema. It was a beautiful character and Anurag Kashyap managed to bring that on screen with the same beauty. I was lucky to play him and become a part of a milestone film like 'Gangs of Wasseypur.'

It's not necessary that everything needs to be spoon-fed to the viewer for every story.

In my journey, I got amazing characters to play which were as interesting as a lead role. In 'Commando,' my role was so good. I feel no actor have rejected that kind of a role.

At one time, smaller, and story-heavy films were not appreciated much but exposure has made the audience aware of what great story-telling is. This has also ensured that the right actors are cast for the right kind of roles.

We all go through the phase where the work is slow and aren't sure if what we are doing will have returns in the future or if it'll reach people at all. You can't fight that.

Hathiram Choudhary is a vulnerable, intense and deep character. Like every common man, he just wants to prove himself and better himself. But he is also bound by his philosophies.

You have to play your part as an actor at the end of the day, regardless of the medium.

More than being a star, I want to be an actor. This may sound cliched but that is how it is.

When the coronavirus-positive cases were 500 in the country, you ordered the shops to shut down, and now when the tally has crossed 50,000 you are opening them. I don't understand the logic.

If tomorrow someone writes a romantic story, I'd like to bring a romantic shade of mine too. When someone puts that trust in you then you can do it.

When you come from FTII, people take you seriously. The environment at the institute is very conducive to learning.

While Anurag Kashyap is a very chilled out guy and let his actors pitch in with their ideas, Kamal Haasan is an encyclopedia in himself. Merely listening to him enriches one so much.

Ups and downs are part of life. One has to try out his best and march ahead.

Unlike star kids, we do not have the liberty to do anything and be famous.

FTII had people from all over India and abroad and they had a different mindset. They would talk about world cinema and there I was - the only foreign films I had watched were probably Arnold Schwarzenegger's and dubbed in Hindi at that!

I have known Abhishek Banerjee for a long time. There have been a lot of films in the past where we were rejected together. We have seen each other's journey. He is an amazing actor.

I come from a family of educationists and both my parents as well as my younger brother and his wife are teachers.

As an actor, it filled me with joy that 'Raazi' was well-received and it gave me an identity and improved me as an actor. It was Meghna Gulzar's guidance that brought out the best in me. She is a receptive filmmaker who knows the art of extracting a performance.

When you stop searching, wanting and wishing things - only then they start appearing.

Acting is just part of my life. It is not my life. Whatever time I invest in acting I give my 100 per cent. But there are other things which are also important and I like to give equal attention to them.

I love Sanjeev Kumar's cop portion in 'Sholay.' Manoj Bajpayee in 'Shool' was also amazing.

More than good co-actors, if you have understanding co-actors, it becomes easier to relate with them. Many actors become insecure and get personal, which is not right.

They say, you don't get anything before time and more than fate. I truly believe that and have never felt the need to fight it out, to say 'why this didn't happen earlier.'

Pataal Lok' explores the depths of human and societal immorality through a captivating storyline and exemplary talents.
