At one time, I have campaigned for Krishna Menon and am very friendly with Rajni Patel. However, I now feel that we need a fresh approach. This is not reviving the Swatantra Party.

I am always in a rush because time is slipping away, and I am chasing it, chasing it.

Somebody came up with the idea of a double role, and I think 'Hum Dono' gave me a great double role - I played Captain Anand and Major Verma, the 'haw-haw' type of major.

A democracy depends on its people, the literate and the well read.

I wish I am born again as Dev Anand, and people will see a young star 25 years later. That will give me some time to finish what I want to do.

Everything motivates me to do my work. Has anyone seen me in any commercial or in anything that is not related to the films? No, because filmmaking and acting is my only work.

People have always complained that we have made films ahead of times. 'Hum Dono' is still modern. We had wars then, and we have wars today. We had love and separation then, and we have that today.

Other black and white films have also been released in colour, but 'Hum Dono' is better than all of them. When you watch 'Hum Dono Rangeen,' you will feel as though it was shot in colour; you won't feel that I have got the reels painted by brush.

My life is the same, and I am at a beautiful stage at 88. I am as excited as I was in my 20s.

I think an individual's mind is a marvellous thing. I truly believe that if your mind is strong, your body tries hard to keep pace with it.
