In America, as opposed to the old country, success was based on merit.

I believe that in the historic and religious nature, marriage is between a man and a woman.

I give thousands of interviews, and I'm probably about as open as anybody in Washington as far as access goes, so I'll continue to do that.

The sacrifice of our personal liberty for security is and will forever be a false choice.

I don't think you will meet anyone in Israel who will ever burn the American flag.

My first choice had always been my father. He's still my first pick. Now that the nominating process is over, tonight, I'm happy to announce that I'm going to be supporting Governor Romney.

I tell people I won't vote to go to war unless I'm ready to go or send my kids.

I think if you have a two-story office and you hire someone who's handicapped, it might be reasonable to let him have an office on the first floor rather than the government saying you have to have a $100,000 elevator.

Just because a majority of the Supreme Court declares something to be 'constitutional' does not make it so.

We should not have the U.S. government buying stock in American industries - the financial industry or any other industry.

We as Republicans have taken the easy way out a lot of times.

I think my dad has helped me tremendously.

The Republican platform specifically says we don't believe in bailing out private business, and yet we did.

People don't like to vote against something that's so incredibly popular.

Everybody is looking for an election where they can do something and participate.

What I say is, national defense is the most important thing we do in Washington, but there's still waste in the military budget.

You shouldn't have one opinion when you're running and another when you're president.

You don't go into politics unless you want to win.

All issues of crime are better addressed at the state level.

The power to tax and spend is restricted by the enumerated powers.

For most of our history, no one dared to tell Americans, 'you don't build that.'

My great-grandfather, like many, came to this country in search of the American dream.

And when the time is right, I hope that African Americans will again look to the party of emancipation, civil liberty, and individual freedom.

Every child in every neighborhood, of every color, class and background, deserves a school that will help them succeed.

The Republican Party's history is rich and chock full of emancipation and black history.

I would argue that the objective evidence shows that big government is not a friend to African Americans.

To understand how Republicans lost the African American vote, we must first understand how we won the African American vote.

If you hear me out, I believe you'll discover that what motivates me more than any other issue is the defense of everyone's rights.

I don't see anything wrong in someone wanting to be famous or having sky-high ambitions.

The truth is that I've always wanted to be an actor, ever since I was a child. I used to see these English movies which were shown to us in our school every Saturday, and then I used to enact the hero's part in my head.

I knew that I wanted to be an actor; how to go about it was the question. I went to Australia for my studies; from there I told my dad that I also want to do a course in performing arts, but my father refused. So I completed my studies and came back. But I kept poking him, saying that acting is something that I want to do.

Stardom happens - you can't plan it - it's destiny, and you shouldn't stand between you and your destiny. I'm letting my destiny play its part, and I go by my gut feeling. If I like my role, I say yes; if I don't, I just refuse, as simple as that.

In 2010, I sold my car, a Toyota Majester, for just a lakh-and-a-half to be able to feed my horses. It continues to be like a hole, where I put all my money.

Contrary to the royal and uptight image of polo, I want to bring it to a younger generation. This is a great sport that can have a larger audience and appeal to more people. Sportsmanship is lacking in many other sports that I don't want to name.

The hero is changing in Bollywood, and I approach a hero's role like a character by focusing on its weaknesses. I feel the weaknesses of a character make them more alive, relatable, and human.

Approaching people for work has not worked for me. People who came to me with work has worked.

There is no need to change my image. I like my image, and the audience likes it, too. I am very comfortable with the kind of roles I do, and as I am not doing the same character or playing myself. I explore my characters; I don't brood over my broody image.

Sex appeal is a good thing for commercial cinema. Though I can't sit at home and consider myself a sex symbol, it is for people to do so. I want to be known as an interesting actor.

If someone explains me the definition of love, I will give my life to the person. Love is a thing which is difficult to understand. Love is always evolving.

There is an interaction and action, reaction between two people. One should show honesty in a relationship. Be honest to your partner and tell him everything. How long can you do things with dishonesty and that's wrong. Don't get into a relationship if you can't be honest.

February days are a marketing gimmick; love happens every day.

I give two hoots about being typecast. It's not in my hands.

I think 'method acting' is a widely abused term.

Celebs says we have no time for love, but I wouldn't say that.

I've had my share of struggle. I believe, never take success to your head or failure to your heart.

I'm just happy that people have recognised me as leading man material.

My family is my biggest critic. Since they come from a non-filmi background, they give me an audience's point of view. They have been very supportive of me.

I have realized that intensity is my unique point. I don't have to attempt it; it's innate. So, when every actor is seeking his individuality, I guess I have already found mine.

I don't regret doing any of my films. All of them have been great learning experiences, and they have contributed to making me what I am today.

We had a great dramatic society in school, and that's where I first got exposure both as an actor and director.
