Dearest TV media and vans outside my home, please do not stress and work so hard.

I just lead my life as naturally, as normally as I possibly can. But I can’t help it if controversy is hounding me day in and day out. I’m quite amazed sometimes by the way...

I like to feel the butterflies in the stomach, I like to go home and have a restless night and wonder how I’m going to be able to accomplish this feat, get jittery. That hunger...

I have never been a superstar and never believed in it.

a has-been superstar.

Everyone must accept that we will age and age is not always flattering.

You don’t see Indians in Hollywood films around which a story can revolve. As soon as we have a social presence in your society, I am sure there will be many actors from our part...

It’s nothing really. It’s the unique presentation that makes me look good in the action scenes. Why did I dare do them? That’s a funny question! Why do I act? Why do I breathe!

Indian actors, because of the format of our stories, need to be good actors, and be able to perform emotional sequences, do a bit of comedy, dance and singing, action, because all of this forms...

I have never really been confident about my career at any stage.

But I’d rather they take final shape before we talk of them.

I don’t use any techniques; I’m not trained to be an actor. I just enjoy working in films.

No new projects at the moment. There are restrictions to how much I can take on. And I need to finish those that I am committed to do before thinking ahead. But I’d rather they...

I’d love to romance Aishwarya Rai. But I’m 58 now. So I have to play her father.

Frankly I’ve never really subscribed to these adjectives tagging me as an ‘icon’, ‘superstar’, etc. I’ve always thought of myself as an actor doing his job to the best of his ability.

I am looking forward to going to Dubai because it gives us an opportunity to interact with each other. We can sit and enjoy each other’s company. We can go out for a walk without...

There are many things that I feel I have missed out on.

You want to talk about the fading of an icon? You never said I was an icon in the first place. But you want to talk about it in a derogatory fashion. You say the...

It’s a great opportunity to be together apart from celebrating Indian cinema.

I sometimes lament the fact that I do not have the benefit of a complete and ailment free body structure.
