It's always interesting to play a character that obviously has a secret.
People like to pigeonhole you. It's easier.
Most actors can't make any kind of living.
Nobody really knows anybody completely, even if they've been married to 'em for 53 years, you know?
When I land in a country and they ask for 'occupation,' I always just put 'artist.' I think that covers all of it.
Pinochet and Barack Obama both have the same primary goal, and that's to be president and stay president as long as allowed.
You do need to get lucky, no matter how talented you are.
You can't really go back to where you came from. I don't think any of us can.

Whenever I do something, it is rooted in the Indian opportunity.
Rather than spend millions getting film stars, I am quite happy to be brand ambassador myself.
I live the way I want to live, and I don't comment on the way that other people live.
I am an honest, straight guy.
Our culture in India is not a culture where we grudge each other.
It's not quite right to be sitting outside India and to be judging what is happening in India.
I am pretty tough as a boss.
