Quotes: |
“ The biggest and the most important thing my mother told me is to be a good actor you first need to be a really good human being and an honest person“ “ I do come from a place of privilege. But I have it, so what am I supposed to do now? I'd be the dumbest person on the planet if I didn't do anything about it.“ “ The question I always ask myself is, 'Is this an opportunity for me to learn?' I think even Kareena said this in an interview, and I relate. I don't know if it is the smartest or the most commercially viable criteria to pick projects, but it's how I make decisions“ “ No, I am not a vanity freak. In fact, in my latest shoot of 'Good Luck Jerry' in Punjab, I tended to eat so much that I got a double chin and my DOP had to change camera angles. I don't brood over such things. I don't bother if I gain weight. But yes, I am bothered when it comes to performance“ “ They are going to say it is plastic, but who cares?“ |
