In Bollywood, I think Boman Irani and Vinay Pathak are unbelievably good at comedy.

The idea is to do out-of-the-box films that showcase my versatility and talent.

To me, the trick is not how can I make people laugh. It is, how can I make people laugh in a different way.

In a big Bollywood romantic film, taking my shirt off and spreading the hand towards the mountain with dancers behind me are not my cup of tea.

Surround yourself with a bunch of like-minded people, and you'll soak up their habits like a starved sponge. Fat people with fat friends care less about their weight.

I'm a stand-up comedian-turned-actor-turned-vampire at night.

Whatever movies I sign, they have to get me out of my comfort zone. Otherwise, I would get bored very easily.

I am a big fan of Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller, who have carved a niche for themselves. I think doing different kind of films gives you longevity and the ability to set yourself apart.

You realise the responsibility of carrying a film on your shoulders when people are investing money in you and they recognise the hard work you have to put in.

In 'Delhi Belly,' I was bald; in other movies I always carried a different look.

I auditioned nine times for 'Delhi Belly,' and it was torturous!

There is more to life than just playing it too safe. You have to take some risk if you truly want to get ahead. Even though that it wouldn't be easy, but it would all worth it.

There is nothing new under the sun but that of the Son. Man's rebellion against God has always been because he would rather fall in pride than rise in humility.

Nothing ever comes to one, that is worth having, except as a result of hard work.

It's a great honor... and it's an honor to be with her majesty, obviously... I'm very honored to be given this honor. (upon receiving the OBE)

Civil disobedience and excitement and intoxication go ill together.

For better or worse, our future is now closely tied to human creativity.

All life is energy and we are transmitting it at every moment. We are all little beaming little signals like radio frequencies, and the world is responding in kind.

Certainly a decade and a half out in the real world, bashing my head against things, probably made me into a more textured writer. It gives you something to write about.

Cities are made for enemies to destroy.

Art and religion (they are the same thing, in the end, of course) have given man the only happiness he has ever had.
