I have expertise of performing, not promoting.

I don't exactly relate to grey characters.

It's difficult to explain in words, but I enjoy doing films more than theatre. It helps me in experiencing moments of truth and I can write an entire thesis on my love for the medium!

I have never done any homework even when I was a child!

As a kid you can sense fear, love happiness very easily.

I have always believed that television is a very strong medium to convey stories, stronger than even movies. On television, you have more scope to explore a subject as it gives you more time.

I like to play non-cardboard characters. I try and bring out the many complex layers in the personality of the characters I play.

I think every Indian knows how to play cricket.

Every film is made for a commercial purpose - to earn money at the box-office.

I believe the era of Amitabh Bachchan is not going to come back. He is the last star that we have.

Whether or not I am a 'character actor' or any other kind of actor, I really don't know. When people call me a 'character actor,' I fail to understand what it means.

Bollywood is an industry that is closer to making more entertainment-based films than anything else because people here are bothered about money.

The whole format of an awards function seems to be tailor made for a television audience. I think it is just an ego boosting affair.

I don't do films for charity any more. In the past, I've done that for friends or people who couldn't not afford to pay. But now money matters.

People should ask themselves why is it that they want to act.

Vijay Mallya is a star, not an actor. Anybody who lives a lifestyle of that kind, is a star.

People assume that displaying your own personal ego on screen is called acting, which is actually not what acting is about.

Light-hearted films are not content-driven films.

I am born and brought up in Maharashtra so for me, Marathi is an often heard language.

One fine day, I realised that advertising was not my calling. I closed shop and plunged into theatre.

My mother was a housewife.

Before 'Sarkar,' I used to introduce myself as Kay Kay, the actor and then that got reduced to just Kay Kay as people realised that I am already an actor.

The city has given me space to think and that is one thing I love about Pune.

We used to stay in Aundh and as a kid I remember going to a single screen theatre to watch 'Sholay' with my family.
