Politicians are interesting people and they have good and bad qualities.

I have studied many politicians closely.

Hindi films do not respect fine actors, it is all about super stars and stardom. Film-making is reduced to revolving around a star's moods.

I don't even compel my wife to wear a mangalsutra or a bindi.

I am getting good roles in the Telugu film industry. And people are also liking my work. I dub the films myself and this makes a huge difference.

The makers of 'Ushakaal' said that if I don't do the film they would shelve the project. I didn't want a good subject to be shelved because of me so I went ahead and did the film.

Most art is fragile and some should be placed and never moved away.

A writer should write with his eyes and a painter paint with his ears.

You should never feel afraid to become a piece of art. It's exhilarating.

Art should be an oasis: a place or refuge from the hardness of life.

The sadness of the incomplete, the sadness that is often Life, but should never be Art.

Overtaking is one thing. That is an art. But defending as well. You should be able to defend your position.
