It's all about loving your parents.

Two powerful people can't be friends.

I don't think you can ever please all audiences.

I'm not embarrassed about who I am. I'm not apologetic.

Honesty is wonderful, but I suspect it's also overrated.

Few people know that I love local dhaba food. It is the best!

I feel Victoria may have a Secret, but you don't have to know it!

Tell me, who doesn't want to have a family to extend himself/herself?

My father was 40 when he had me, so he was more a grandparent than a parent.

Throughout my life, I have valued relationships far more than the professionalism.

For me, a child means an old-age insurance policy. I have a nurturing quality in me.

Sometimes new voices have the most spectacular vision. It is uncluttered and organic.

I think the endeavor is to just make your film and then hope it travels as much as it can.

I found my student of the year, and now Tata Nano is searching for India's student of the year

I condemn any form of terrorism and especially the terrorism that would affect my country and me.

I don't claim to have led a saintly life. There have been a lot of one-sided love stories in my life.

I am a Gemini and can adapt to most atmospheres. You get two for the price of one when you are a Gemini.

I'm not of the religion but I'm educated enough to understand there is a misconception about it globally.

I have always been interested in fashion and even contemplated being a fashion designer at one point of time.

I am not a hound; I am an attention-seeker. Very different animal. My kind of attention requires greater finesse.

'Sairat' is a film I absolutely loved. I have great regard for the movie and its film-maker. The movie blew my mind.

I've been the lull, and I've been the storm and also somewhere in between. But that's OK. I love the limelight after all.

I grew up as the only child, and we did not have a large family. So for me and my mother, our friends tend to become our family.

I am constantly accused of being 'First World.' So what should I do? I can't apologise for my environment, upbringing, aesthetic.

I do not understand why we are not raised to celebrate our bodies as children. Why we are told to be shy or awkward or self-conscious.

I know I don't mind sharing my defects, my deficiencies, partly in the hope that someone will hear it and know that they're not alone.

When I'm making a film, I'm obsessive about what I do, and I get totally into it. That's all I'm eating, breathing, living at that moment.

I feel what a spouse can do for you, no child or parent can. Just that if you get the right connect with your spouse, you get it going right.

In my experience, I think there's must ado about fidelity and infidelity. I think sometimes true emotional relationships can go beyond those.

My very shy Punjabi father never taught me about the birds and bees. So shy was he that he may have thought he would get arrested for even talking about it.

I'm not a walking fleet of vanity vans any more than I'm a walking, talking multi-star cast. I might want an entourage, but so far, it is entirely eluding me.

The first time I fell in love, I was in my 20s, and I loved someone right till I was 31. And then I felt that emotion died within me. I wasn't feeling alive at all.

Everyone thinks I land in a chopper on top of my building and I have the most cushy existence. Could you understand that I might have the most messed up life myself?

Infidelity has always existed, but I feel like it was brushed under the carpet, behind the scenes. Now everyone is at it - and they've stopped pretending they're not.

Everybody knows what my sexual orientation is. I don't need to scream it out. I won't, only because I live in a country where I could possibly be jailed for saying this.

I was swept by the narrative structure of film... you can create a world, you can destroy it, you can do what you want with it and serve it to people just the way you like.

I am always acting, be at a party, at work or in office. My attitude changes from meeting to meeting, from being serious to intense to funny, depending on who is in the room.

I think that I have self esteem issues, really. If you really analyse it... People who really like me I have no interest in. The unattainable is always that I want to attain.

Give me the flash lights, the red carpets, and all that goes with it. Please! Oh, and I love hoardings. I love them. Nothing makes me happier than my face splashed all over the city.

I've heard expressions like, 'Are you good in bed?' What does that even mean? For me, good in bed means sleeping seven hours. Undisturbed! If I get eight hours, that means I'm amazing!

If I did have a six-pack to show and a great waistline to put out there to the universe or beautiful muscular legs, then I would not have to pout. The only thing I have going for me is a jawline.

I am very strongly paternal. My paternal instincts need to be acted upon. My love needs a release. I love everyone. I don't express my love enough, but the love within me needs a platform as a parent.

From the time you open the newspapers to the time the lights go off at night, it's all lies. We lie the most to the people closest to us. For fear of hurting them, breaking their heart, or worrying them.

For me, my country comes first. Nothing else matters but my country. I always felt that the best way to express your patriotism is to spread love, and that's all I ever tried to do through my work and my cinema.

I have invariably been in love when I haven't had the same reciprocated emotion at all. I don't choose to talk about my personal life because I believe that I don't want to, and I believe my personal life is personal.

I have never, ever talked about my orientation or sexuality because whether I am heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, asexual, it is my concern. I refuse to talk about it... I have not been brought up to talk about my sex life.

I'm deeply stressed as a filmmaker, and I know I'm not alone. The censorship crisis, the moral policing, the politics of it has most of us on edge. I'm scared to use certain words: like, if I use 'Bombay,' will there be a problem?

I'm exceptionally email un-savvy, so to reply to my emails is like a torture. It's like literally, half of all my emails, I get my secretary to type out for me. And the personal ones, I avoid and just pick up the phone and call them.

I am not interested in producing fiction for Indian television at all, the reason being that I don't understand the medium. I can be a judge or a host; I can do that as an individual. But to produce TV content, you have to know the game.

I'm a proud filmmaker, but everyone seems to have forgotten that. You're introduced, and someone will say, 'Arrey! Karan Johar! He does talk shows! He's judge!' And now my filmmaking has been lost, all my other accomplishments forgotten.
