The day I take either my body or my work for granted will be the day you hear that I've smashed every inch of myself to pieces.

I'm not hungry for success. I am only hungry for good work, and that is how it is with most superstars. Every day I tell myself how fortunate I am to be where I am.

I hate partying. If I'm forced to go to a party or a social gathering, I go in at 9:30 and leave at 10 P.M.

I'm a realist. Where I come from, 'phenomenons' don't exist. I'm from a land where people make mistakes and try again, harder, faster; where negativity is not an option.

When you taste super-success after tasting super-failure, there is huge relief.

It's the best thing if your work is your passion in life. It makes me feel like I'm always on break.

I do not hold God ransom to my success; whatever is his will is my way. I stand by moments; I do not stand by time.

Work is work, but family is for life. That's what really matters to me.

I savour the adulation and love I have been getting from my fans and the blessings of elders in my family. Fourteen years have given me a lot and I can't thank God and the industry enough.

Each one of us has his own place in the industry. I've been able to prove that you don't necessarily have to be a Khan to be successful!

I have never believed in being part of any one group or camp.

We must learn to accept ourselves in the painful experiment of living. We must embrace the spiritual adventure of becoming human, moving through the many stages that lie between birth and death.

Nothing mitigated failure except the knowledge that it did not matter.

I'm not going to conform, and hurt myself, and do something crazy to be a size 2.

Give your face to God, and He will put his shine on it.

When we stop hoping, that which we fear will certainly come.

Today's trend ends up in tomorrow's landfill.

Where one man reads the Bible, a hundred read you and me.

It is manifestly vital to the success of the anti-slavery cause, that the authority and influence of proslavery, especially of slaveholding, ministers should be destroyed.

The main thing a musician would like to do is to give a picture to the listener of the many wonderful things he knows of and senses in the universe.

Having this other career in music made me work harder as an actress. It's made me more professional.
