Jim Sarbh

I am an eco-friendly person and a vegetarian.

It's harder to scream at someone you just chatted with at lunch. I mean, if you're a superb actor, you might be able to do that, but I couldn't do it.

I appreciate being known as 'best character' rather than as the 'best bad guy.'

If you are being interviewed, just be polite, have fun.

Any actor who says that they don't want the attention, and that they're tired of all the interviews and photoshoots, are just pretending.

I am really tired of playing characters who don't care about people.

I am not interested in one-sided characters.

I am a little bored of playing negative characters.

I did plays because I liked plays. I studied psychology because I was fascinated by the subject, and I hope to keep doing films because I love the medium.

I would love to work with anybody who has a good story to tell - Patrick Graham, Vikramaditya Motwane, Anurag Kashyap, Neeraj Ghaywan, Coen Brothers, Wes Anderson. I don't know why I was not considered for that Indian guy's part in 'The Grand Budapest Hotel.'

In 'Padmaavat,' you are pushed to be as good as the frame, to have a presence that lives up to the grand, operatic, intricate, beautiful frame that you inhabit. I love trying to rise to that.

An interesting life could always use a little seduction, confidence, ambition, and danger.
