I would love to do roles which would become dream roles for others.

I am lucky to get different roles.

After working in a number of films as a child actor, I took a break so that people could forget me as a child actor and relate to me as a hero.

I think one should take criticism in one's stride and prove oneself. In fact, I would like to thank my critics as their criticism gave me the fire and passion to prove myself.

I'm not much of a hectic packer and prefer to travel light.

The only time I travelled solo was when I did a 40-day trip visiting America for the first time.

You don't want to be wearing tight jeans and a blingy jacket on a 16-hour flight.

I have had my share of flops and it's very discouraging. It's pathetic to be on that side.

After Class 10, I kept away from films.

If you notice, no child star made it big when s/he grew up because the child's image was still fresh in people's memory. They could not digest the fact that the child star had grown into a man.

As a child, I thought we had come to Mumbai for a holiday. I did not realise that this holiday was permanent.

More than the length, it's the meat of the character that is more important. It does not matter if you are on screen, standing in the corner for the whole film, as opposed to doing something that stands out in two scenes.

As an actor, I can only do my job well, but in a movie there are a lot of other things that matter too - like how it is edited and promoted and the works. Those are not in my hand.

For any relationship to survive, one needs excellent communication.

I am not a fitness freak.

When we watch a film as actors, you have to understand that we always see much more than what's on screen.

Directors were apprehensive in trying comedy with me.

Sporting a six-pack doesn't necessarily mean that one is fit as it tends to reduce one's immunity levels.

There are times when your films don't work, your phone doesn't ring and you wonder what you have done.

At times I do feel that there is some issue with child actors because in all my films my performance has been appreciated but the films have not created magic at the box office.

Although jealousy is a strong word, who would like to see the person they love romance someone else, even onscreen?

First hand on 'Go Goa Gone' I learnt how to write on final drafts, how the process works.

My kiss in 'Kalyug' was beautifully shot.

An actor has to be a complete package, he should have a toned body, know how to dance, act and do everything possible under the sun.
