When the camera is on, I am an actor; otherwise, I am an ordinary person.

More than anything else, I love to act and leave the rest to my director.

I don't need others to validate my good conduct.

Earlier in my career, there may have been compulsions for accepting films for money.

Cooking is like doing yoga. There is a lot of satisfaction in cooking food for others.

The purpose of making a successful film is to blend entertainment with social content.

I have always felt that promoting somebody else's mistake as a superlative product is not my cup of tea.

That's me: success and failure don't affect me.

If I would have not been in films, I would have become an anti-social element.

Pu La's writing is multi-layered, multi-faceted, and deep.

You shouldn't think about the fate of the films. The film might succeed or fail, but your performance must be good. You should work hard for every film.

If we don't move with time, we'll be stuck in old ways.

I do just a film a year and so have a lot of time.

The more layers a story has, the better it is for the audience.

I don't like eating outside food at all. I do it only if there is absolutely no choice. Whenever I have a party at home, and even if there are 25 people coming, I make it a point to cook everything at home, and I don't get any stuff from outside.

People have been unkind to me, but I do not want to swear vengeance. I am a simple human being.

I play the piano, paint, and go for trekking.

Once I lose control, there's no stopping me.

'Khamoshi' gave me the chance to prove that expressions can also say what dialogue could.

I always do one film at a time.

I don't want to do too many films because I don't aspire to buy huge cars or build bungalows.

The soldiers who serve in uniform at the front are our real heroes. They fight a battle every day to protect the integrity of the nation.

I would have loved to work with Satyajit Ray.

Acting was just a hobby; I never needed butter from it.
