To succeed in your mission, you must have single-minded devotion to your goal.

Those who cannot work with their hearts achieve but a hollow, half-hearted success that breeds bitterness all around.

More importantly, I also understand my age and am in a better position to appreciate it.

Be more dedicated to making solid achievements than in running after swift but synthetic happiness.

Do we not realize that self respect comes with self reliance?

Why are we, as a nation so obsessed with foreign things? Is it a legacy of our colonial years? We want foreign television sets. We want foreign shirts. We want foreign technology. Why this obsession...

Nobody can push me aside.

Tell me, why is the media here so negative? Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognise our own strengths, our achievements? We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success...

Unless India stands up to the world, no one will respect us. In this world, fear has no place. Only strength respects strength.

Now I am careful about the kind of roles that I do.

Climbing to the top demands strength, whether it is to the top of Mount Everest or to the top of your career.

We will be remembered only if we give to our younger generation a prosperous and safe India, resulting out of economic prosperity coupled with civilizational heritage.

In India we only read about death, sickness, terrorism, crime.

One must learn to play one’s age.

Let us sacrifice our today so that our children can have a better tomorrow.

English is necessary as at present original works of science are in English. I believe that in two decades times original works of science will start coming out in our languages. Then we can move...

It means, people who are in high and responsible positions, if they go against righteousness, righteousness itself will get transformed into a destroyer.

What I mean is that today’s films lay lot of emphasis on glamour and associated emotions.

Great dreams of great dreamers are always transcended.

If a country is to be corruption free and become a nation of beautiful minds, I strongly feel there are three key societal members who can make a difference. They are the father, the mother...

Look at the sky. We are not alone. The whole universe is friendly to us and conspires only to give the best to those who dream and work.

Man needs his difficulties because they are necessary to enjoy success.

Educationists should build the capacities of the spirit of inquiry, creativity, entrepreneurial and moral leadership among students and become their role model.

My view is that at a younger age your optimism is more and you have more imagination etc. You have less bias.

I was willing to accept what I couldn’t change.

Have a bias toward action — let’s see something happen now. You can break that big plan into small steps and take the first step right away.

Life is a difficult game. You can win it only by retaining your birthright to be a person.

We should not give up and we should not allow the problem to defeat us.

Actors cannot go on for over running around the trees.

As a child of God, I am greater than anything that can happen to me.

God, our Creator, has stored within our minds and personalities, great potential strength and ability. Prayer helps us tap and develop these powers.

Age is very important in the entertainment industry.

If we are not free, no one will respect us.

We must think and act like a nation of a billion people and not like that of a million people. Dream, dream, dream!

I know I cannot do all the stuff that I did ten years ago.

No religion has mandated killing others as a requirement for its sustenance or promotion.

We have not invaded anyone. We have not conquered anyone. We have not grabbed their land, their culture, their history and tried to enforce our way of life on them.
