I burned down my backyard as a seven-year-old. I poured kerosene over dried leaves and set the whole place on fire, just for fun. Yeah, not a very normal thing to do.

Just be yourself. Be honest, work towards a goal, and you'll achieve it.

I think it is rather 'unsexy' to go under the knife and modify your appearance.

Boldness, sensuality and an unapologetic way of showing things, that is part of my films.

I watch a romcom only when my wife drags me

I feel I should never do passive characters. They don't work for me.

My victory is when the audience buys a ticket to watch my film. I am extremely thrilled when they give it a thumbs-up.

I respect the Bible and offer namaz regularly. But I am ritualistic only up to a certain extent. I believe only in those rituals that I can understand and connect with, and conduct them my own way.

I'm not meant to run around trees. I can't throw my arms in the air and sing, I find that boring and irritating. Sweet romcoms are not my cup of tea. The film has to be a little twisted and quirky.

It is fun to see girls going mad about me or dancing around to get one glimpse of me. These are major perks of being an actor. But you need to be cautious and respectful.

If I am told to be at a shoot at 10 A.M., I am ready on time. By 11:30, I lose my patience. After that, I keep threatening to leave the sets if they don't begin soon. It works sometimes.

Curiosity is a lust of the mind.

It is a terrible thought, to contemplate that an immense number of mediocre thinkers are occupied with really influential matters.

Woman understands children better than man does, but man is more childlike than woman.

The vast majority of our troubles and heartaches would simply vanish from view if only we could remember - before we act - that we are made victims mostly by our own tendencies.

The only place you will be accepted is the place you make for yourself.

For decades, the violence in the Middle East has claimed a multitude of innocent civilian victims: Men, women and children, Arab and Israeli.

While the question of who killed President Kennedy is important, the question 'what killed him' is more important.

What I really need is a woman who loves me for my money but doesn't understand math.

There have not been children of comparable youth in the White House since the Kennedy era.

But at three, four, five, and even six years the childish nature will require sports; now is the time to get rid of self-will in him, punishing him, but not so as to disgrace him.
