As the world's getting filled with temptations, we're getting a bit frivolous and a bit fickle.
In L.A. you hear all these stories of people being filmed in their own homes through their windows. I think that is so scary.
It always feels great to be at the start of something new. It's almost like a revolution, in a way.
When a doctor is performing an operation, his mind cannot be somewhere else.
I think it's important to know yourself before you try to deal with a relationship.
I am very direct, to the point that I think I might make people uncomfortable! I do not know how not to be direct. I don't think there's time to waste.
I wouldn't want to do a Bollywood film per se, but I would like to do an Indian-language film. For some reason I think Bollywood has become synonymous with commercial cinema, which is song and dance and everything that is larger than life, and I am interested in the reality.
I absolutely love London; it is one of my favourite cities in the world.
When a doctor is performing an operation, his mind cannot be somewhere else. And it's the same with actors. You have to commit yourself mind, body and soul to a project in order to do justice to it.
I'm glad I'm a strong person.

I've learned to develop a thick skin, but you're bound to be affected when you read something bad about yourself in the paper and it's rubbed in your face over and over.
Indian celebrities have the media and fans permanently outside their homes, and that would make me really uncomfortable.
Of course I'm going to marry, but I don't know when.
