Occupation: Film Actor Birth: January 7, 1967
It surely gives you a high to be an international actor with quality work..
Our Bollywood stars who talk of being part of 100 crore films, I think I belong to the 1,000 crore club..
I'm trying to strike a balance between Bollywood and Hollywood..
I want to entertain people, but with some substance..
A film engages you emotionally and intellectually..
The sign of a good society is where talent is respected..
I am lucky that the Western world chooses me to play roles in their movies an television, whatever language it may be..
I've played many characters that have consumed me and owned me..
In India, therapy is not part of the culture; it has not become such a big need..
I cannot live anywhere else except India..
Cinema is changing every week, and multiplex audiences are demanding every week..
I was going through a crisis once, so I went to therapy because I was so unbearable for myself..
What happens with every role, you have to trick yourself, you have to creatively find ways to explore the mental state of your character..
Maybe to become famous is to reassure yourself that whatever you're lacking inside, you've fulfilled that..
It's always an inner wish of every actor to reach out to maximum audiences..
A nation needs to know how to utilise talent..
Language does not make one an elite..
I can't think of a more pathetic situation for an actor than to do a film and not connect to it. And I pray to God that I never face that situation..
I will only do a Hollywood film when there is something special offered to me..
Parsi theater was known for melodrama..
I am not ready to fit into the mould of commercial cinema..
