Doing a film with YRF is like a dream come true for a newcomer. It's like a family here. Everyone looks after you. If you do your work well, they appreciate you. You are in safe hands with such production houses.

According to me films like 'Sonali Cable' are career changing films and only few get such chance, I am happy that I did this film.

I have seen many times in 100 Crs films there is no content, in short only money is wasted.

I don't think of any movie as big or small, after all what matters is content of the film.

When you're a VJ, you can say whatever you want, dress whatever way you want to. You play your own character.

I want to work with Farhan Akhtar.

I am on good terms with whoever I have worked with. We never discuss films. We discuss life and what we had for lunch!

Mahesh Bhatt has been a great influence in many people's lives. The vibe he brings onto the set is very positive.

I had auditioned for 'Band Baaja Baarat' but did not get selected. I was feeling bad, was upset. But I think certain films are meant by destiny. And that film was not meant for me.

Everyone thinks I am Punjabi till I tell them my surname Chakraborty.

MDKM' has to be the right launch for me. I was pampered a lot on the sets while I bullied everyone.

You either are a good director or you're not.

If you act scared, your body produces adrenaline.

I quite enjoy cooking but I'm not consistent. I can't follow the recipe book. If something goes well, I'll never make it again, which is completely stupid. It's a one-shot kind of deal.

Lentil dhal is the only thing I can cook.

I'm very nerdy about my music, and I like interrogating people about what they put on playlists.

If pressed, I would say I feel British. It's where I grew up and where I choose to live, the culture that I love, but I feel perfectly at home in America, I don't feel like a tourist or anything.

I think acting can be very frustrating, and there's no experience that doesn't make you a better actor.

I always look for contradiction in a character.

There's always going to be a separate version of you that people will create, and you have no control over it.

I love being able to express myself through what I wear - and for it to be a way of expressing uniqueness and individuality.

My access point to the '70s is films from that time, and they all have that paranoiac quality.

I've played an awful lot of repressed people.

If I got too famous, I'd just quit acting, but I think it's highly unlikely I'm going to get really famous.
