I can recite poetry, but I cannot write it..

Cinema is changing every week, and multiplex audiences are demanding every week..

A film engages you emotionally and intellectually..

I want to entertain people, but with some substance..

What happens with every role, you have to trick yourself, you have to creatively find ways to explore the mental state of your character..

I was going through a crisis once, so I went to therapy because I was so unbearable for myself..

Maybe to become famous is to reassure yourself that whatever you're lacking inside, you've fulfilled that..

I am lucky that the Western world chooses me to play roles in their movies an television, whatever language it may be..

Our Bollywood stars who talk of being part of 100 crore films, I think I belong to the 1,000 crore club..

I've played many characters that have consumed me and owned me..

I am not ready to fit into the mould of commercial cinema..

In India, therapy is not part of the culture; it has not become such a big need..

A nation needs to know how to utilise talent..

I cannot live anywhere else except India..

I will only do a Hollywood film when there is something special offered to me..

It's always an inner wish of every actor to reach out to maximum audiences..

It surely gives you a high to be an international actor with quality work..

I'm trying to strike a balance between Bollywood and Hollywood..

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..

Parsi theater was known for melodrama..

The sign of a good society is where talent is respected..
