Getting to work with good filmmakers and getting to play good characters in films is so special.

As an actor, it's your job to switch on and off from the character.

A lot of things have hurt me about the industry. I don't want to be very vocal about this but it's an everyday fight with Bollywood. It's like a love hate relationship.

I am proud of whatever my parents have achieved. In fact, it drives me to excel in life, to perform even better and explore myself.

As an actor, I try to work in as many films as I can.

I want to work on projects that I can connect with and those that establish a connectivity with the audience too.

I am a fan of cinema. The genre has never mattered much to me.

I want to take up anything that excites me. It can be a drama, action or a comedy.

I never wanted my fans to think I'm perfect.

People have talked about a biopic on my mother. And I am excited about it. In such a short span, it was one hell of a life lived. It is special. I would love to have a biopic made on her.

I don't think anyone can replace the brand 'Bachchan.' You can call him a brand. But for me, he defines Indian cinema when it comes to actors.

I try and work out every day if possible, or as many times as possible in a week. I concentrate on one body part at a time, and spend at least two to two-and-a-half hours on really intense weight training.

I think I have very strong bones.

I have been watching Hollywood films from childhood.

Yes, I love the movie business. In fact, there's no business like show business.

I'm a health and fitness freak. I love it.

My father is my hero and that's never going to change.

Working with Aamir Khan was awesome. There's so much one can learn from him.

I wanted my own rock band and stuff like that, but things didn't work out. I didn't have the patience to write my own songs and learn it and everything.

I love music - anything that catches my ears - but it's more about lots of rock 'n' roll and really funky electronic music.

Mumbai is the kind of place where you learn how to be street smart... unless you're way too overprotected.

Maldives has a fun, relaxed and approachable vibe. I think I have a similar personality.

Doing the same thing over and over again can be boring, I want to explore as much as I can.

I am interested in doing anything that makes for a good watch.

I agree to do a film if I like the subject.

If an actor can emotionally bond with the viewer, then it does not matter if he is handsome or ordinary looking.

I do enjoy a lot of good will in the industry and feel very fortunate about it.

People say that they can't leave their homes without their phones; well, I can.

I am passionate about my work.

My mother wanted to be a mother. That's the only thing she wanted from the bottom of her heart. She didn't want to be the number one actress - which she was - and she didn't want to be this great legend. All she wanted to be was a mother and she did but God took her away. So I always will empathise and sympathise with women.

One needs to know what is right and what is wrong.

I have come to terms with all the complications of my life.

We all celebrate Ganpati festival with a lot of love and care for the deity, but we also need to take care of the environment.

I think I have grown as a better actor, I have learnt more about people and professionalism.

I have learnt to respect others opinion more.

I just wish that I am always true to my work and myself and value the respect that my parents have earned.

I am proud to be their child. It is very inspiring for me. I am inspired by my mom and dad.

Sometimes it is beneficial to you and sometimes it is not. So, you should not pay too much attention to controversies. You should just focus on working hard on your film and your character. Leave the rest to god.

I am learning to be more humble and giving as a person.

Love is everything.

Do things close to heart, and work hard with passion and dedication.

I have realised acting is my heartbeat and my lifeline.

My biggest problem areas are my stomach and face. If I indulge too much, I gain weight at these wrong places. So, I stick to a very strict diet in order to avoid that.

Be honest to your work and do quality work.

Everyone has some sort of struggle.

At 19, I got signed up for commercials, it was easy money.

I like feeling fit and strong.

I wanted to be a cricketer.

No, I don't regret any of the films that I did.

The fact is, when you are young, if you are mingling with wrong people, you tend to be misguided. You tend to be brainwashed easily.
