People ask me, do I ever disagree with my father? It would be a little strange if I didn't.

Of course I have my father guiding me, and I have people who I have actually grown up with and who advise me.

Yes, many people compare me with my father and I feel proud and happy that Telugu people are enjoying my roles.

As soon as people heard me speak, they would compare me to my father. My siblings had the same kind of pressure.

I talk and talk and talk, and I haven't taught people in fifty years what my father taught me by example in one week.

We didn't have television in those days, and many people didn't even have radios. My mother would read aloud to my father and me in the evening.

I came to Harlem from West Virginia when I was three, after my mother died. My father, who was very poor, gave me up to two wonderful people, my foster parents.

Many people, including me, thought it was too early for me to play a father to two grown-up daughters, but I found the script of 'Dangal' irresistible. I had to do it!

Pu La was like a father figure to people of my generation. I thank him for the characters his literary works offered us. They personify full-fledged human beings and have always given me company.

As someone who grew up with a father who was the prime minister, many people liked me, and many didn't. I don't pay much attention to labels and certainly don't let people define me through the labels they apply. I stay focused on what I need to do.

I've had the acting bug since I was, like, five. But growing up, I saw how people treated me differently when they knew who my father was, even the stuff I did on the field. Sometimes I'd rush for 100 yards, and the headline would be, 'Denzel's son runs for 100 yards.' That's where the suppression of that bug came from.
