In my case, I'm in touch with God in good times and bad. I don't use God as a means of favour. And I can't do business with him - the very thought is bizarre.
Quote by -Kay Kay Menon
I don't understand when people say character actors. You either have the protagonist or the antagonist and I've played both. It's an actor's role to play a character. Does that mean that main stream heroes and heroines are characterless?
Quote by -Kay Kay Menon
Let's not betray cinema with marketing inside the film. If it's done outside, then it's ok. That is essential to integrity.
Quote by -Kay Kay Menon
The city helped open my mind creatively and culturally. Pune has the power to make you realise your dream.
Quote by -Kay Kay Menon
If you make a good film, then there's no harm if it achieves commercial success.
Quote by -Kay Kay Menon
You have to be truthful and believable in whatever you do and that is the founding principle of acting.
Quote by -Kay Kay Menon
I returned to Pune in the 90s to do my MBA from the University of Pune as in that period there were not many MBA institutes in the city!
Quote by -Kay Kay Menon
I don't play roles, I play characters. There is a vast difference between the two.
Quote by -Kay Kay Menon
Yes, I am extremely choosy. You decide whether to do a film or not only after you meet and talk to the film-maker. Only someone who thinks out of the box excites me.
Quote by -Kay Kay Menon
I like to promote my work. I do the promotion for my work because that is required. Apart from that I just don't know how to promote myself, to be honest, I think my work ideally should speak for itself.
Quote by -Kay Kay Menon
I believe religion is a branch of spirituality, often misinterpreted and twisted to suit people's ideas. In truth, religion and spirituality are meant to co-exist happily.
Quote by -Kay Kay Menon
Content films necessary don't go by the content, they go by the emotions. Content films are about content whether you want to portray the content or sell it through humour, through seriousness, is a choice of the filmmaker.
Quote by -Kay Kay Menon
Every human being has a plethora of emotions. As an actor, we are lucky to take them out and portray onscreen. But in normal life you can't do that. That is the charm of leading an actor's life.
Quote by -Kay Kay Menon
Acting is a symbiotic process, it is an amalgamation of many many things put together and when there is a call for action, that's when you surrender and the moment of truth comes out, that's when you perform. That is the process for every good actor.
Quote by -Kay Kay Menon
The paradox of perfection is that you should try and achieve it by doing quality work even though you know you can never achieve it.
Quote by -Kay Kay Menon
Be honest and accept it if you do not have talent. And if you do, hone your skills.
Quote by -Kay Kay Menon
I sift through the scripts offered to me and see what is worth attempting, because I think there is no point in wasting your time in doing something which you are not too keen on. I try and do whatever I feel interested in.
Quote by -Kay Kay Menon
Preparing for roles sounds so academic, doesn't it? It feels as if you are preparing for an examination! In a creative medium, the preparation is of an entirely different kind, and for me, the ideas flow from the script itself.
Quote by -Kay Kay Menon
I was born in Kerala, where my maternal grandparents lived, and stayed there till the age of one, after which I came to Maharashtra to live with my parents and moved all around the state with my father, who worked as a superintendent in an ordnance factory.
Quote by -Kay Kay Menon
I don't have the expertise in that department, I seriously lack the skill to market myself.
Quote by -Kay Kay Menon
We are a jingoistic nation - whether it is politics or films or whatever. We can posthumously shower praises and accolades on people, but when they are alive, we don't bother about them. A classic case is Om Puri.
Quote by -Kay Kay Menon
Cinema is not about wearing 'bikni' and showing 'six packs'... All these are secondary.
Quote by -Kay Kay Menon
People often accuse me of being serious. Have I played serious roles in 'Honeymoon Travels' and 'Sankat City?' It is just that after the films were made, producers did not have money to bombard it all over the place.
Quote by -Kay Kay Menon
I get paid to act. I've never acted free for anybody and I'd rather be rewarded than awarded.
Quote by -Kay Kay Menon
I had these false ambitions - marketing and MBA. I didn't do very badly at it, but I realised my calling was something else.
Quote by -Kay Kay Menon
There's a need to create a space for different kind of films. Let all kind of films co-exist peacefully.
Quote by -Kay Kay Menon
I can't really iterate what I look for in a script. It's a very subjective thing. Like an organic attachment you have with the script and characters.
Quote by -Kay Kay Menon
See, our country has certain problems. Certain psychological problems. We are dynasty lovers. We love the fact that this guy comes from this family and we start giving them concessions.
Quote by -Kay Kay Menon
I was constantly on stage in school, and even while I was pursuing my MBA, I knew that I wanted to eventually become an actor.
Quote by -Kay Kay Menon
I've worked with a lot of people who have a lot of integrity towards cinema.
Quote by -Kay Kay Menon
A simple love story can be made into an interesting film if the film-maker can think differently.
Quote by -Kay Kay Menon
There are things apart from films that inspire me. I play a lot of sports and love it. It is the only field where you can't become a star without actual performance.
Quote by -Kay Kay Menon
I can't look at the mirror beyond two minutes. I don't know what to look at. What is the point of looking at yourself? You can't change your face.
Quote by -Kay Kay Menon
For me, making time for God is like making time to fill my stomach - like the physical space in the stomach needs food, spiritual space in one's soul needs regular prayer.
Quote by -Kay Kay Menon
You have got to dig deep into your own spectrum while playing a character. If I am playing evil, believe me, I am bringing out the evil from within me.
