Indian actors, because of the format of our stories, need to be good actors, and be able to perform emotional sequences, do a bit of comedy, dance and singing, action, because all of this forms just one film. In many ways I'd say there are greater de...
If the characters are not alive to me, it doesn't matter how good the sentences are. It just becomes all cake and no frosting.
Bad people doing bad things is not interesting. What I find interesting is good people doing bad things.
I have had the good fortune of being able to sing with many of the finest voices in the world, and for someone who loves voices as I do, this is an enormous privilege.

I think I'm still a little too intense for my own good sometimes.
I've done my share of busking, and it's fun until it isn't. There are musicians in the subways that will make you cry, they're so good.
A good espresso to me is a little bit salty; you just become used to a good taste. Anytime I go into a new place and they don't clean their machine properly or the water temperature isn't right, it tastes awful.

Britons are good, though often brutal, colonists where they come into relations with entirely uncivilized tribes whose past is so remote as to be forgotten. But they trample with their heavy boots over the sensitive, delicate susceptibilities of an a...
