Bollywood is a cancer.

One of the greatest attributes most Hindus have is acceptance.

Bengali serials are far superior than their Mumbai counterparts.

I want to settle down in Mussorie. I'm in love with the Himalaya.

Dr. Aziz is a very deep and meaty part, a gift part for any actor.

Perhaps it is that great suffering is necessary to produce great art.

I had the most amazing childhood in the natural surroundings of Assam.

I don't market myself too well. I just get odd offers once in a while.

People believe I am selective. I am not. Directors pick me, not I them.

My heart belongs to the Dimasa people and to the people of the northeast.

I can play lots of nationalities: Greeks, South Americans, Arabs, all sorts.

Tagore almost invented the term multiculturalism. It's good to see it taking form.

I carry too much baggage... the baggage of David Lean, Satyajit Ray, Shyam Benegal.

To this day my father cringes when he has to tell friends, 'My son's a movie actor.'

If you watch some movies, it would appear that India has free gun license like the U.S.

The Calcutta public accepted me and put me where I am. I will always be grateful to them.

Street food has always made life and living in Calcutta so much more easy and attractive.

We all mouth the fact that material possessions don't make you happy but we still pursue them.

'As The River Flows' is an important Assamese film with a message for everybody to ponder upon.

There's no such thing as an easy role. Every part, you take it lightly and it will get screwed.

Hollywood represents a great deal of security for my family, and that is what I've come in search of.

While representing violence on screen, some directors tend to gloss over it while others glamorize it.

With age you tend to become intolerant and it becomes difficult to give your best in trying circumstances.

I'm very proud of my performance in 'Bow Barracks Forever.' This was one of my most enjoyable experiences.

Both Ram Gopal Varma and Subhash Ghai are great directors and it was a great experience working with them.

The worst thing is that filmmaking is an expensive medium and money corrupts cinema right at the beginning.

As for 'Jogger's Park,' it was refreshing to work with Anant Balani. As a director he's cool as a cucumber.

When I don't have the time to be in the Himalayas, I am in Bombay, Los Angles or N.Y. or Paris or wherever.

When Western filmmakers look for an Indian they want him to play a snake charmer, a chauffeur or a peanut vendor.
