Frankly, I love my independence too much to give it up.

I believe, for an actor, both the success of his film and awards are equally important.

When Raghavendra Rao garu approached me to do a film on Lord Venkateswara, my initial response was 'What more can we do than Annamayya?' But he asked me to go through the script, and I really liked it.

I believe there is lot of untapped potential in the television market. With shows such as 'Bigg Boss' and '24' turning out to big hits on TV, I'm interested to be in it.

I don't consult anyone - not my mother, not my father, anyone - about my work. And I must add that neither Dad nor Mom interfere in my work.

After 'Shirdi Sai,' I wanted a total image makeover. I was looking to transform myself.

Critics who complain that we don't do anything new will hopefully be happy with 'Oopiri.'

There should be a flexibility on ticket prices in multiplexes.

If I get good stories, then I don't mind working for multi-starrer movies.

The films I've done with all my heart have gone on to become huge hits. When I set out to do a 'mass masala' intending to please B and C centres, it bombs.
