My family doesn't interfere in my professional decisions at all.

Sometimes, the money is exciting. You want to buy a house, or a car, and then you jump into it. So, there are a lot of things that come into consideration, and that's fair enough. There may or may not solely be one reason why you do films.

People tend to typecast you in a certain way, depending on the kind of work you have been doing till then.

I'm a recognisable actor, but I'm not a bankable actor.

I'm a practical actor and work keeps me occupied. It takes care of my bills, so there are many reasons for which I work.

I have to make myself available for work. If I'm going to sit around only for great roles, I won't get the right one.

It's a myth that you'll know the box office result of any film. I don't think anybody can predict a film's fate accurately, otherwise nobody would make unsuccessful or flop films.

I have no time to think about a second marriage at all.

We have lived together for more than 18 years. Malaika is like family to us even after separation. We have a son together. We are responsible for him.

A hero can get a positive response with a few flaws in him.

Sometimes, waiting for too long for the right film may fall flat.

Web is going to become very big... The format is different in terms of its storytelling pattern and its duration. Web audience enjoys watching stuff on the go, they prefer to watch it alone. It is isolated viewing while cinema is collective viewing.

There are people who do not get to act after two films. I have been in the industry for over two decades.

I won an award for my debut film. However, my career went up and down after that but I kept getting work. I did whatever excited me and did not think which role or film will change my career.

No one is going to keep giving me work because I am Salman Khan's brother. People may give me one or two films because of Salman but no one can make my career. I have to work towards it.

When a movie is made, you toy with many ideas, and a prequel to 'Dabangg' is one of them.

I will direct films be it my own productions or outside. It's not like I am here only to direct Salman.

If 'Dabangg' starts looking like the 'Golmaal' or 'Dhoom' franchises, then people wouldn't be able to connect with it.

I started my production house with the idea of directing one day.

I think with time you don't have an option but to listen to your wife.

When you achieve something or someone, you don't want to lose the person. I love Malaika but I'm possessive about her.

I am content, ambitious and equally know the need to switch off from work. My world is big enough to go beyond movies too.

As a director, you realise the bigger picture.

Due to my serious kind of roles, people - apart from my close friends and family - did not know the real me.
