If somebody had started on a remake of French Kiss before I announced my own film, I would have dropped my subject. If someone else starts after me, what am I to do?

Simply that we are mirroring the trends in society, at any given time smuggling was an issue in the seventies, corruption is an issue today, and we faithfully reflect those issues.

I never talk about my personal life. After these rumours, I definitely do not want to comment on anything.

Today I divide my day between being actor, producer and distributor, and the monotony is broken.

By getting into distribution and production, I am actually widening my base.

It gets tiring, doing the same thing everyday.

As far as I know, if you take your time, write a good script and make a good film, then give the audience time, they will accept it.

In the South, it is different, they have a audience that is literate.

I only want to do better work. That's the focus of my life.

I don't see the risk, I enjoy performing stunts, and I don't get scared.

There're so many things I want to do, like become more media savvy. I am too lazy. But I'm making an effort.

I want to keep working really hard at getting better at stand-up and touring, and I can't imagine a time when I won't want to do that. But, who knows?

Even in the big movies, if the scenes are very big, I'm not fond of them as much as I'm fond of small actor scenes.

I happen to think most people go into government do it for the right reasons and they really do things as they see them on the merits of the issues.

It used to be that god was revealed in the wonders of nature; now God was being challenged by those same wonders. Scholars were now required to choose one side or the other.

Kids should read whatever they want to read. So I'm hoping that just like 15-year-olds read "Summer Sisters," I'm hoping that they'll read this.

Honestly, self-care is not fluffy - it's something we should take seriously.

I love playing the drums - I really get a lot out of it - but I don't think I'm a good enough drummer to be playing live drums on all 10 tracks on my album.

We sometimes feel that we have been really understood, but it was always long ago, by someone now dead.

Nobody gets between me and my microphone.

I don't know how to incorporate regret. But I'll say, like, "It affected me that way," "I learned this," "Next time maybe I'll do it differently".
