We don't have a culture of realistic acting in India.

I cannot live anywhere else except India.

For me, acting is becoming naked in front of people, you know? And when you know in the back of your mind somebody is testing you, you cannot really bare yourself. That's a feeling I always have when I'm auditioning.

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

Hollywood isn't ready for an Indian leading man.

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