Katrina Kaif is doing very well for herself and I'd like to wish her a very Happy Birthday
It is a common perception that actors don’t get along.
Im a shy person. I contradict my own profession, because Im an introvert in a very glamorous world.
Comedy is the most difficult. Comic timing is something which you either have it in you, or you don't. You have to have a good sense of humour to be able to understand it. A split second can make you lose the punch.
In the (film) industry, body size doesn't matter. What matters is how much an actor contributes through his performance and not his body size. It is important that every person should wear clothes that go with their body - the cut, the fabric make a lot of difference.
At some level, I feel it is nice to know that a film of yours is doing well at the box office and has also got great reviews. That feels like success.
I don't like differentiating between art and commercial cinema.
I am not confident around people. Maybe, I have become slightly more confident over the years because of my profession.
I don't think you need any kind of backing here in the industry. I think what you achieve in your life is the result of your own talent and hard work.
I guess I learnt to appreciate old Hindi-movie music from my dad and somewhere down the line picked up jazz as well.
I can walk into a room with all my contemporaries and I will be very comfortable.
I talk to my parents everyday and every move that I make, every endorsement that I do, every film that I do and my everyday activities are all discussed with them.
My parents never raised their hand or fired me. Their way of disciplining me was to tell me what is right or wrong.
Being a movie star isn't easy. It requires a lot of commitment and sacrifice. Your career goes through extreme ups and downs. You are judged all the time. Great things are written about you, but at the same time, not-so-good things are also said. At times, things are said about you that are completely untrue, and people mostly try to pull you down.
I am not sleepy at all!
The styling takes you straight into the world of a specific film.
While I believe that when you are in the glamour industry, you have to look your best, I also believe being skinny is not 'hot and happening.'
I am enjoying myself and I do not mind the loss of personal time and family time when I am doing good films.
When I am told that I am a huge star, I accept it, knowing that success is relative - the films I do have to work.
I still live as normal a life as anybody else. I have two homes to run. I have my staff to take care of. I work, pay bills and attend society meetings like everybody else.
I am not very comfortable about dancing at weddings and New Year parties. Maybe it's because of the way I have been brought up; I wouldn't want my family to feel that cringe moment. Dance is an art for me.
I have a lot of friends, but my biggest fear is loneliness. I miss my family in Mumbai, and my biggest nightmare every day is to go back home alone.
Every film teaches you something; every experience on every film set with every co-star teaches you something. You learn something new. I think the challenge is to keep working harder and doing better.
Comic timing is something you are either born with or do not have.
For doing comedy, a sense of humor is a must!
