I neither throw my weight around nor do I bully anyone on the set.

Beef is not allowed in my house.

My entire family has been part of the film industry for many years.

I don't know what fun newspapers and magazines derive from interfering in people's private lives.

Personally, I think that the story is all-important; everything else comes later. But if there's any other way to ensure the betterment of the film, I always implement it.

It's my life - acting.

I can barely sit in one place for five minutes.

In acting, the basic tool is observation. Whenever you see something, you store it in your head, and when you come across a character that reminds you of that instance, you incorporate it.

Pransaab was a great character actor. What he has achieved as an actor, I cannot think of achieving even a part of it.

There is no way one can remake 'Mughal-e-Azam.' What my grandfather did, we cannot even think of emulating. The film is a legend, and we should leave it at that.

Give me meaty roles, and I'll sink my teeth into them!

The reality is that some Kapoors did reach the marquee; others did not.

As is the case with politicians, actors are chosen by people.

The first song I ever did on screen was 'Main Shaayar To Nahi.'

There is no nepotism in the Hindi film industry.

I am observing that to become an actor, people say, they want to join gym. Why join a gym? Why don't you join an institute where they teach you how to act?

I don't know why all these actors think going to a gym or riding horses or learning how to fight are the steps to becoming an actor.

I am a natural actor. I try to keep it spontaneous as far as possible. That is my mantra.

I am not stagnating in one kind of an image.

Every one has right to express his views on any subject, and I am a common man, a tax payer, and part of the society.

Passion for work is very important.

I have played all generations in reel and real life - grandson, son, father, and grandfather - and each relationship has taught me something.

There would be no 'Sholay' without Dharmendra, no 'Amar Akbar Anthony' without Vinod Khanna and Rishi Kapoor, no 'Deewar' without Shashi Kapoor, and no 'Dostana' without Shatrughan Sinha.

Though sometimes you hit, sometimes you don't get the kind of roles you should get, but sometimes you get the role.

I always wanted to be an actor.

Some films will work, some won't.

What I admire about Ranbir is his choice of films. Sometimes he will be bad; sometimes he will be good.

I came into films when there was action. When I retired, it was romantic period.

No, there is no 'need' for me to do a social cinema.

I love to experiment, to push myself, and I want people to accept me in roles that I have never attempted before.

Trust me; I have not exactly been the best husband material.

I have always been an arrogant man.

I am high-strung and high-energy. My blood pressure is always high, and I am always excited to go to work.

I am an actor, and actors should be willing to play all kind of roles.

I get very excited when I have to work in a film and when I am narrated.

I can never say that I don't want to work anymore. That would be an absolute lie because I enjoy, I take delight in, working in films because I feel it's an honour, you know, to entertain people, to regale audiences.

I don't think it is wrong when you - when an actor goes and sells his film. I mean, it's salesmanship; you got to tell the world what you have. You got to tell them, 'These are my wares; please see how do you like them. If you like to buy them, please buy them.' There's nothing wrong in that.

I have campaigned only once in the elections, for Vinod Khanna in Gurdaspur, but that was not as a party member but because he is a colleague.

I do fun things on Twitter. I enjoy it.

I am extremely malleable as an actor, but I also know how to get away with doing things the way I want, even if the director disagrees.

I am a believer of all religions. I will happily visit a temple, mosque, church. I do not differentiate between religions.

The creative mind is restless.

I firmly believe in destiny, so let's see what my luck has in store for me.

I respect religious rules. I am a true God-fearing Hindu.

I always try to be different and play varied kind of characters.

When I did 'Kapoor & Sons,' I had a prosthetic look. It would take me six-and-a-half hours daily for 20, 25 days.

My son was named after my father, whose name was Ranbir Raj Kapoor.

People are fed up of formula films, and we are getting new space to experiment.

I am not a spokesperson for any political person or party.

I have never really hit a gym.
