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.
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 keep saying I'm not at all famous in my own country, because people do not think I have done anything for India.
I find it very interesting these days that films are bringing in so many people of different ethnicities, and I'm proud to be a part of that cultural shift.
All people - African, European, American - worry about being different. But I've learned that the traits we'd rush to get rid of are the very ones that others desire. People always covet what they don't have. That's why we should look at ourselves every now and then and say, 'I'm proud of myself. I like the way I'm made.'
As the world's getting filled with temptations, we're getting a bit frivolous and a bit fickle.
It always feels great to be at the start of something new. It's almost like a revolution, in a way.

I think it's important to know yourself before you try to deal with a relationship.
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.
