Social media is just a platform. What some people decide to do with it results in something good or bad.

I made a decent debut in Bollywood with 'Dum Maaro Dum.'

As a child, I was into cricket and boxing in school.

My first film, 'Leader,' created a lot of political drama. Its release was pushed back twice.

I have grown up reading Marvel Comics and Marvel movies with their intricately woven storylines. It is fascinating to see how Marvel has created characters and stories that resonate so well with audiences across the globe, making movies at a scale that one had never before imagined.

Each character, be it the antagonist or the protagonist, brings with himself his own personality... and I have tried to stay true to each one of them; each is enjoyable in their own way!

We see many posters and standees at cinema halls, and some catch attention. But these posters are soon forgotten. Taking a picture with the actors, enabled by AR, helps record a memory.

Over time, I decided to take up only those stories I love.

I didn't set out to be a regular hero.

Give me something new, and I'll do it with all my heart.

Not all stories are meant for the big screen.

Every story has a place where it deserves to be told.

I want to do films that are genre-based and character-based.

I want to be part of movies which set benchmarks for a new kind of cinema.

Getting out of a character is emotionally taxing. You get used to being a person on camera, and when you move on, the character remains with you for a long time.

'Baahubali' has done to Indian cinema what 'Star Wars' has done to America.

'Baahubali' was really the film that broke most barriers of what regional cinema can do nationally.

I have grown up watching franchise-based movies like 'Star Wars' and read 'Amar Chitra Katha' and had aspired to do cinema like that.

I started doing visual effects for many years, and after that, I became an actor.

I have been in the industry for about 15 years, and every day has been a learning experience, thanks to changing trends and technology.

Should I tell you one thing, I am blind from my right eye. I see only from my left eye. The one you see is someone else's eye which was donated to me after his death. If I close my left eye, I can see no one.

If it was a risk, I wouldn't have done 'Baahubali.'

If you want to tell a new story, it is a risk. But then you have to do it in the best financial way as possible.

My father is someone who asks doubts, thereby triggering new thoughts.

Had I not done 'Baahubali,' perhaps 'Ghazi' wouldn't have happened.

There is no pressure from my family to get married.

Rumours die out faster than they are born, and I'm prepared for them.

When a director from Hindi cinema is looking for an actor from another language, it will be only because he feels the character justifies this and that can only be for a well-written character.

The great and abiding lesson of American history, particularly the cold war, is that the engine of capitalism, the individual, is mightier than any collective.

It isn't hard to find injustice around us, but we must not let injustice smear the good deeds that do occur everyday.

There comes a time in the history of nations when fear and forgetfulness cause a nation to hesitate, to waver, and perhaps even to succumb. When that time comes, those who love liberty must rise to the occasion. Will you lovers of liberty rise to the occasion?

You can't have it both ways. You can't tell me that you're taxed enough already, and that you want constitutional government and then in the next breath say, 'Bring me home some bacon.' The pig has been picked clean.

The thing is I think vaccines are one of the greatest medical breakthroughs that we have. I'm a big fan and a great fan of the history of the development of the smallpox vaccine, for example.

The Stamp Act was a direct tax imposed on the colonies by King George III. This act inevitably led to the American Revolution. Just as the Stamp Act did in 1765, Obamacare should act as a wake-up call. Chief Justice Roberts provides us with a similar call to action.

I have heard of many tragic cases of walking, talking, normal children who wound up with profound mental disorders after vaccines.

I don't want to live in a nanny state where people are telling me where I can go and what I can do.

Stop spending money you don't have.

A free society will abide unofficial, private discrimination, even when that means allowing hate-filled groups to exclude people based on the color of their skin.

Throughout the 1970s, '80s and '90s, federal mandatory minimum laws were implemented that forced judges to deliver sentences far lengthier than they would have if allowed to use their own discretion. The result has been decades of damage, particularly to young people.

Just because a couple people on the Supreme Court declare something to be 'constitutional' does not make it so.

I grew up in a family that despised not only communism but collectivism, socialism, and any 'ism' that deprived the individual of his or her natural rights.

Both sides of the aisle - Republican and Democrat - have been unwilling and afraid to address the deficit, and someone's got to.

I don't care if you're a Republican or a Democrat, there is something profoundly un-American about using the brute force of government to bully someone.

If our freedom is taken, the American dream will wither and die.

Putin must be punished for violating the Budapest Memorandum, and Russia must learn that the U.S. will isolate it if it insists on acting like a rogue nation.

What America needs is not Robin Hood but Adam Smith.

My budget is similar to the Penny Plan, which cuts 1 percent a year for five or six years and balances the budget.

People say America is exceptional. I agree, but it's not the complexion of our skin or the twists in our DNA that make us unique. America is exceptional because we were founded upon the notion that everyone should be free to pursue life, liberty, and happiness.

I have a message from the Tea Party, a message that is loud and clear and does not mince words. We've come to take our government back.

We don't need bigger government. We need to shrink the size of government.
