Kabir Bedi

I think I've had an interesting life. I've done films, TV, theatre and got married. I don't have any regrets.

Everything has a place and time.

I've dubbed for my roles in Hindi, English, and Italian. Therefore, I'm used to the process. But, dubbing is hard, especially when you are dubbing for a prominent actor.

I'm constantly complimented for my voice, even by random people at the airport!

I'm an international actor, but at the same time, I'm also a Bollywood actor, even though most of my career has been abroad. However, I've always kept in touch with Hindi cinema.

Honestly, I'm willing to experiment with far more variety in roles than I'm given. But ultimately, it's the producer's decision. But, I've done a variety of roles - the evil don, the evil husband... I've done villainous roles, supporting roles, etc.

Acting is the most insecure profession in the world - you're insecure if you're successful, you're insecure if you're not. A tightrope walk without a net. It's a miracle I'm still standing!

I adore 'The Chipmunks.'

There's nothing called a perfect pick-up line. Men always have to face the risk of rejection.

The life of an actor is very hard irrespective of the continent you are in. It is doubly hard when you are only eligible for minority roles.

Love is a beautiful feeling.

Not all roles you do can be chocolate sweet.

Theatre is done largely for the love of the craft. Television makes you famous. And films immortalize you. That's the relationship between the three.

I am essentially someone who comes from the theatre. I love the theatre. Unfortunately, theatre doesn't pay the bills. Only in theatre abroad, I get a wage.

My parents were no ordinary people. My mother turned Gandhian, and my father was a staunch communist. They named me after the great saint as a symbol of communal harmony.

When Rakesh Roshan called me for 'Khoon Bhari Maang,' it was supposed to be a six month shoot, but I ended up staying for four years doing 12 films.

We should realise that Hollywood is not obliged to write roles for Asian actors.

Whether people choose to have same sex relationships or relationships outside the marriage - whatever happens between two consenting adults should be purely their business, not the state's or the society's.

I have never been worried about the future. I will always be able to drive my own feet.

Delhi is my emotional home. I still dream of owning a home there.

I'm not the sort to wallow in nostalgia about the good old days.

Every relationship comes with a shelf life; that duration could be a minute or even a lifetime. If, for whatever reasons, a relationship cannot last a lifetime, contrary to what the two people imagined, then both the individuals have to be communicative and have to understand and accept the reality.

Vamps no longer exist. Stars have taken their roles.

I don't believe in murder.

I have never pressurized a producer to do me any favor.
