I'm a bit of an extremist.

I love ice cream and gulab jamuns.

When not working, my days are lazy.

Nobody is immune to feeling depressed.

To me, action has to come from the plot.

Every movie gets exactly what it deserves.

I usually play volleyball three times a week.

A break-up between couples is traumatic for everyone.

If I don't work out, I lose weight instead of gaining it.

When I watched Guru Dutt's films, they just blew my mind.

Amitabh Bachchan was the coolest character in every movie.

I think all kids are rebellious. It's a part of growing up.

In any case, I am not a great one to make plans for the future.

I am very fond of technology and like to keep pace with change.

If you were to put me under one umbrella, call me a storyteller.

It's amazing how much the human mind and body can do and achieve.

Be the catalyst for change. Empowering women, empowering humanity

I think if I had a choice, I'd like to be in a film with De Niro.

A corrupt society is terrible for humanity and great for business.

Difficulty does not deter me. In fact, I find challenges exciting.

The more time you have, you should dedicate it to do creative work.

Every time you work with a new co-star, a whole new dynamic emerges.

I am a boring looking guy with a common face, ugly scars and a toothy smile.

You have to be grateful for what you have, but you're always pushing further.

To me, 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag' is definitely a landmark. It has taught me so much.

Even within escapist cinema, if you find a good story to tell, it will do well.

As an actor, I am extremely fortunate to portray Milkha Singh on the big screen.

Even when I was writing the script for 'Don,' I suspected it could lead to a sequel.

I like to make films with characters that resemble real people, about societies that exist.

I take a more holistic approach to fitness than trying to achieve a certain body to display.

Cinema, I always felt, is a very powerful mass medium to translate ideas in an engaging way.

Friendship brings in a lot of honesty and trust into any relationship, especially a marriage.

When I made my debut as an actor in 'Rock On!' I was confident to get in front of the camera.

Every director has a sensibility and style, and what works is his originality and conviction.

I feel nervous before performing in live concerts, but it does not last more than five minutes.

I remember so clearly as a kid, my biggest problem in life was I used to never follow up on anything.

I used to lie a lot as a child, which I now regret. I think it is much easier just to tell the truth.

As an actor, you buy into someone else's dream and make it your own, and you don't lose sight of that.

Fitness is about keeping yourself healthy. This is something you do for yourself and for your loved ones.

Work does affect my personal life, as it consumes most of my time. It takes away a lot from my family time.

My sister Zoya and I have been exposed to the best of cinema of all kinds - Chinese, Japanese, Italian, etc.

Filmmaking, whatever the window dressing or the scale of a film may be, is eventually about telling a story.

From being in a film and shooting to just being in a studio with my guitar and musicians was a welcome change.

Film festivals are important, as they often provide an opportunity to look at a film from a fresh perspective.

Whatever films I make, the mandate is that it should touch the audiences and engage them from the first scene.

As the director, you are the organiser who has to have all the answers. You are the person with maximum clarity.

I was a complete vagabond till the age of 20, when I got my first job as an assistant director with Pankaj Parashar.

One fear setting on filmmakers is that the audience no longer has any patience. They want things to constantly move.

'Dil Chahta Hai' is not the first film about friendship. 'Lakshya' is not the first film about war and coming of age.

The power with which you can create a character is tremendous and probably more satisfying than actually being the person.
