Quotes

• "I get my overhauling as an actor by doing theatre. Yes, voice exercises help. Also, I take up a lot of physical workouts to keep myself in shape."
• "Well, the only way one can avoid the monotony and remain motivated is by being selective about work and try and do as many different and varied roles as possible even though I must admit that getting what you want on TV can be difficult."
• "I always go by my instincts. In fact if you ask me, method acting is not acting. I personally believe there is no scope or time for method acting on TV or in cinema. In any case I don't think if I am playing a murderer, I have to go around knifing people for six months or that if I am doing a drunken scene, I have to actually consume liquor. Why do we call ourselves actors after all?"
• "Acting is the art of getting away from oneself. It is the art of getting into the skin of some other character. And of course, how effortlessly one does it or how much of an inherent capacity one has to do it shows how good or bad an actor is."
• "Never stop learning and never become complacent."
