When prayer flags flutter and the prayers inscribed on them blend into the wind, the surroundings sing. Hope soars, compassion spills. May those feelings guide us all through the day.
It annoys me that we glorify sex symbols one day and make them apologise the next.
My grandmother, Betty Bertha Bright, lived in the Armenian block in Kolkata. After '36 Chowringhee Lane,' we haven't seen that part of the city in films.
Your film is a hit, you bathe in champagne; it flops, a single malt lessens the pain.
'Jism 3' has to be bolder and hotter in every way! Even the star cast is more diverse.
The satellite and digital space is where the audience for 'Cabaret' lies: a discerning lot who don't rush to the cinema hall on the first day, first show, and prefer instead to consume their entertainment at their time and comfort.
'Cabaret' was launched with fanfare, and the songs organically created quite a buzz.
I believe in taking big risks. If you encourage new people, they want to prove themselves. They give their best. This is not possible with established stars, who treat their job casually most of the time.
Bollywood is a great place. You can expect support for award ceremonies, weddings, and funerals.
I am choosy about my films, period - whether it's my father directing it or anybody else.
The last person who was brave enough to cast me was Rahul Bose in 'Everybody Says I'm Fine.' He gave me no choice. He is my dearest friend. I confided in him about how disillusioned I was by the business of cinema and stardom. He offered me a role.
I am addicted to watching cookery shows.
My dear friend Randeep Hooda says I am more a unionist than an actor. I reminded him I was a star and not just an actor.
Life begins at 40. I could attempt writing. Life is taking me into different directions.
I have Scottish genes: my grandfather was Scottish. My father was a voracious drinker. So, drinking came naturally to me.
A film based on my life would not be as interesting as my father. I have not lived a life as enriching as my father. I have only been observer to his life, so I think I'm the best person to make a documentary on him.
I enjoy production more than acting, as one is involved in many aspects of film-making.
I have seen this whole process of films releasing, becoming hits or flops, for too long now to expect things to do well. If I expect a film to do well, then it is for somebody else's sake, not for my own. I do my work, and if you feel that my work is improving from film to film, then I have done my part of the job.
I love my flops. Look at my life: my failure that broke my heart made me stronger.
The director does not have anyone to blame but himself. He or she cannot hide behind anybody. If a film is a hit, everyone gets the credit, but if it flops, only the director can be blamed.
