I like new challenges.

My life is an open book.

Reach for the stars not drugs.

I'm only competing with myself.

I don't make films for critics.

I want to be remembered as a star.

I used to party a lot before marriage.

With each film, I try to outdo my previous films.

When we do something good, people immediately follow it.

I don't like to filter myself, but I do it for PR's sake.

You can't expect critics to appreciate all kinds of cinema.

I keep myself away from people who talk badly about others.

I am not an actor who enjoys negative comments on other heroes.

I would love to explore my options in Tamil as well as Malayalam.

I feel Bollywood is slowly recognising the South as a major market.

I always say this, but I'm saying this again. Do not encourage piracy.

I don't believe in awards, and I think only film fare awards are faring.

I may be a gadget freak, but let me tell you clearly, I'm not on Twitter.

There are two types of directors: the directors who take and directors who give.

I want my films to offer wholesome entertainment and not be my personal showreels.

I want to do more films because if you do a lot of films, you become a better actor.

DSP is not only a music director for many of my films, but he is also a very dear friend.

I am not against acting in a Hindi film, but I will take it up only if the story is right.

Chiranjeevi is a good man, and he will do only good things, and our family will support him.

I have grown up using Colgate; my long-standing association with the brand has been very warm.

If a movie crosses budget and becomes a hit, no one cares. They care only when it doesn't do well.

Everything changes with time. I am not so experienced enough to analyze what the people love in me.

I want to thank the audience of both the Telugu speaking states for standing by me throughout my journey.

Since most of our films cater to crossover audiences, I think it's time we make films for multilingual viewers.

If we give something positive to others, it will return to us. If we give negative, that negativity will be returned.

If my film doesn't make money, it means people didn't go watch it. So it doesn't matter then that the critics loved it.

People will watch your film only if it's good. Another star's flop won't make your film a hit. So my race is with myself.

He has given me several blockbuster albums in all these years, and DSP is the man behind many of the best songs in my career.

If the film is a hit, people talk about the hard work, but if it fails, they may not notice, but I give my best for all films.

I feel I haven't been used to the fullest of my potential. There are so many genres to explore and diverse subjects to work on.

After the release of my first film 'Gangothri,' my father was so happy that he surprised me by buying me a swanky high-end car.

Malayalam industry is pretty awesome, and I will definitely do a movie in Malayalam. There are some great directors over there.

I have the best-ever body in 'Badrinath.' I have a six-pack body in this movie. I spent eight hours a day working out for the movie.

My family believes in a good script and ultimately everything that is attached to it. I am more interested in a hit film than a good film.

I no longer need a large television set in my vanity van and just go to Hotstar on my phone - it is much easier to watch everything there.

Depending on the time I get, I do my share of social networking, listen to music, or play a video game. I love watching movies in theatres.

The Kerala market may be small, but the reach is very wide. I am told Malayalis in Russia and Paris, too, watch my films, and that's something!

There are lots of things to do. Lots of movies to catch. Lots of places to visit... I try to bring in every real life experience into my acting.

In 'Bunny,' I have got my dialogues - almost 80 per cent of my shots were okayed in a single take. I did put in effort and did a lot of homework.

I am a variety machine; I look for variety in my characters, and an extra edge in the characterisation helps in bringing out a better performance.

I can handle rumors about me. But I don't like things being written about my wife and my family. They don't need to pay a price for me being a star.

Becoming a father is the natural progression and the next stage after marriage. So the thought of becoming a father is itself an incredible feeling!

I am very diplomatic when I'm in front of the media or when I am going out for promotions and stuff. But, usually, I'm a very straight forward person.

It's difficult to maintain the six-pack abs. They demand a specific workout and diet plan. Even professional bodybuilders sport six-pack abs on and off.

Dad never interferes in our personal matters. He is a very candid person and knows where to draw the line. He is always there for all of us in the family.
