23 Quotes by Anoop Menon

I am probably the only actor who came from television serials to films and was able to work in films this long. Of the 75-odd films I've done, in around 40 of them, I've been the hero.

I just write by instinct and my screenplays are often the effort of a year-long penance on a subject.

I used to read voraciously while in school and cinema was always a fascination. Law was the safe backup plan.

I have always been fascinated by chefs and I make it a point to meet them at all the hotels I visit.

If you have a perfect script, the right actors and technicians, and a good producer, direction is the most enjoyable profession in the world.

I have a fondness for words. On that note, I don't consider my lyrics to be all that great. I like to call myself a supplier of words rather than a lyricist.
