Every night, I watch films.

I love to travel and go to dance classes whenever I get time.

While I am open to good offers when they come by, I have found my calling in theatre.

I want to challenge myself with each project.

I run after good stories. If I did not like the story of 'Padman,' and if it was imparting the same message, I probably would not have done it.

I'm an actor, and my main purpose is to bring out interesting stories to life. If it involves a cause that I can be a part of, I most definitely will.

I don't know why, but I can't get myself to like animal prints.

Why are we only talking about gender discrimination. We need to focus on the other kinds of discriminations in practice.

Sometimes you really make bad mistakes, and you want to go back and just erase them.

I will do a big-budget film. I will do an indie film. I will do a short film. I will do a digital platform show, television, and even theatre. I don't have any restrictions in terms of platform as long as the content is something that I find interesting.

Certain people get an opportunity because they happen to be in the right place at the right time. It has no bearing on their talent. I don't think we should look at it and feel bitter about it. That's the way the cookie crumbles in all professions.

I think you can't get anywhere without hard work.

It is very important to transform every disadvantage into an advantage.

I want our generation to break stereotypes, and I want Indians who are making their foray in Hollywood to get all kinds of roles.

In a field like acting, there is pressure of all kinds, and it becomes tricky to navigate this space. There isn't a particular path laid out to get what you want; you have to figure out ways to get there on your own. And yet, there is no guarantee of getting what you want. At times, you don't know whom to listen to or whose advice to follow.

Whether something is sensible or not is subjective. What is sensible to me might not be for others.

You need to learn to say no and need to recognise when you're being exploited.

People who exploit their power and abuse others need to be revealed.

I've always driven big SUVs. I'm from Maine, and there's a point to driving a big SUV in Maine. I don't really need a 4WD in L.A., but on the 405, people are crazy, and you need a tank. I like the visibility factor.

I love to personalize things. I love to make things my own. I like to name everything - from cars to iPhones to the socks I just lost.

I spend an extraordinary amount of time in my car, so I can justify the expense. That's the only extravagance in my life - it's my car.

I'd love to do a movie where I actually get to be kind of quirky and odd and dorky and all that stuff. My parents would like to see some movies where I'm not in peril. They'd appreciate it.

My type is really young, short, athletic, and smart. I know, you want to be with someone who's going to be your friend - yeah, yeah, yeah. I want the Adonis line, the two down the hips to the waist. And a guy has to be able to accept criticism about his clothing. I can be very particular about what I like and don't like.

Sci-fi fans are awesome. They're very smart, they like to be involved, they like to ask questions. I've been asked questions I don't even know the answer to. I've never had any aggressive interactions. I've had lovely interactions.
