Knowledge is power. You can't begin a career, for that matter even a relationship, unless you know everything there is to know about it.
There is a lot of silence in me, and I feel that silence is often better than spoken words.
I didn't allow failure to break my heart. So I wouldn't allow success to bloat my head.
Love is a strange emotion. It is ever evolving. Lust is transient. With time, one realizes that love and togetherness are two different things. Very few people are lucky enough to experience the two emotions simultaneously.
I try to keep myself as normal as possible. Stardom is transient. People forget you after a while.
Trust is not about what you can or cannot do in the name of love but who you are and what you choose to reveal as things progress and evolve.
February days are a marketing gimmick; love happens every day.
Horses are in our DNA. We used them way before cars for commuting.
From being a waiter, to a door-to-door salesman, to a car-washer, to a delivery boy - I have done it all.
I am not an angry guy. It's just the roles I do that impact my personality.
There is an interaction and action, reaction between two people. One should show honesty in a relationship. Be honest to your partner and tell him everything. How long can you do things with dishonesty and that's wrong. Don't get into a relationship if you can't be honest.
I've had my share of struggle. I believe, never take success to your head or failure to your heart.
In 2010, I sold my car, a Toyota Majester, for just a lakh-and-a-half to be able to feed my horses. It continues to be like a hole, where I put all my money.
I find solace in animals. I have got a stray dog at home called Candy. I picked it up while I was waiting at the airport one day. I always wanted to have a 'macho' dog but got this sweet little thing instead.
I'm going to be acting all my life. But, while doing that, I will try to avoid the trappings of fame.
I don't play the role of a villain, really, but I like playing anti-hero kind of roles. I like characters where there's conflict, drama, and more personal investment than just being heroes.
A few years ago, when I had no work and started believing that films weren't a viable career, I thought of finding another job. I started training and riding horses and got consumed by that. It was a boon in disguise.
It's a misconception that love can only foster between two people of opposite sex. Love is a bond.
It's too bad I'm not a flirt. When I'm on the sets, I'm too busy working on my scenes to look at the ladies.
Contrary to the royal and uptight image of polo, I want to bring it to a younger generation. This is a great sport that can have a larger audience and appeal to more people. Sportsmanship is lacking in many other sports that I don't want to name.
I would really love to work with Clint Eastwood.
I have this soft spot for have-nots. So, I was really inclined to portray their pain and pathos in 'Highway.'
Honestly, I find writing to be a very lonely job.
I'm just happy that people have recognised me as leading man material.
Seriously I suspected I was a good actor, though I didn't know it during 'Monsoon Wedding'. Now I realize the more I learn the less I know about acting... and life.
