After all, what is a film? It is selling of a dream. We have to tell lies to people, we have to sell them dreams.

I don’t know whether the film we’ve made is commercial or not, whether it’s good or not, but I do know that we’ve made it honestly and that we've enjoyed making it. I just hope it has turned out to be the film we had set out to make.

Just because I am cheerful and jovial and look good, doesn’t mean that I can’t act.

I've become a free-for-all brand. I hope they come out with a rule that they can't use a person's name without paying him for it!

I am popular for all that I’ve done on the screen. That is why I’m never ashamed of what I’ve done in front of the camera, nor am I extra-proud of what I’ve done.
