Every actor has his own identity. I don't aspire to be Bond. My quest is to do something new, something different.

I think India is very passionate about films. It’s almost a second religion back home. Due to that, I think film stars are – are really held in great esteem. Not that we’re complaining, but I think with that comes a lot of responsibility.

I’m an actor, paid to act. I don’t bring personal problems to the sets. Dad taught me that.

There is one common thing in superstars – enthusiasm and humility towards their work. Off sets, they are big stars for others, and they carry themselves the way they want to. When they are working, they are not stars.

Every film for every actor is a make-or-break film. I believe every film has the power to break you or make you. So, an actor will treat every film like his last film. That’s the way we need to work, and that’s the way you can drum up that passion needed to do good work.

In the Indian film industry, especially those of us who are in mainstream cinema, we invariably play a typical hero’s role. More often than not, we cater to the public perception. However, there is a latent desire in most actors to do a role where you can go all out and experiment.

A successful film is a good film, and a non-successful film is a bad film. It’s as simple as that.

My films are of paramount importance to me, the same as my family. That’s not going to change. This is a balance I have to strike throughout my life.

I don’t believe in asking God for anything. If I am worthy, He will give it to me. I think we should earn his blessings; I have never believed in mannats.

Basketball is my favorite sport, and I’m also a very passionate football fan.
