When I started singing, people said I couldn't sing because I was a music director. I proved them wrong.

I will stop nasal singing. I will change if the time comes. I am 100% sure about it. The day I feel people are loving some different kind of music, I will opt for it and change myself.

There was a time when I composed for 30 films in a year. In such a short-spanned career, I have done 100 films and 500 songs. I am used to working hard.

I am a huge fan of Yash Chopra, Karan Johar, Farah Khan, Sooraj Barjatiya or Sanjay Leela Bhansali or Aditya Chopra. They are great legends.

Critics said I am nasal, but my fans made me hit. So I will not stop singing if critics don't like me.

I do everything from my heart.

I always believe that it is destiny and divine intervention that are with me.

Big producers trust the music directors. Small directors are insecure but like to experiment.

I make singers sing every note fully and wait till they hit the right note.

I love to simplify the ragas and use them in my music as much as possible.

I am happy to be a composer.

Many people do not know how hard I work. There are many days I work more than 18 hours.

I am a Gujarati by birth, but having spent most of the growing up years in Mumbai, I can eat all kinds of food, from pizza to Thai, but given a choice, I want to stick to Indian.

My nasal voice has given me recognition.

With 'The Xpose,' the main challenge was to create timeless melodies. The thriller is set in the '60s, and we didn't want the songs to sound dated.

A lot of planning goes into ensuring that every project becomes a super hit.

I feel Salman Khan is not only a superstar, but also the greatest human being because of the kind of charity he does, the kind of noble thoughts he has and the love and care he shows towards his close ones.

I am a huge fan of Aamir Khan.

I don't pick up fights casually. I fight for what is right.

Salman Khan gave me a break, and that proved to be a boon. By the grace of God, my first song was a blockbuster.

Everything about me is so odd: I look weird. I have a nasal voice. I'm arrogant. my singing raises the dead from the grave. I am inspired by Altaf Raja, as one report mentioned, and so much more. I have stopped fighting all these rumours and remarks.

Satish Kaushik has a knack of coming up with very good remakes.

A singer doesn't sing at home: he or she wants his songs to reach out the audience. Audience always gives you your due.

I relish tea, but I am not an addict. Twice a day is fine.
