I love listening to music on holiday, and back in the old days, I used to travel with cassette tapes and a boombox.

I hope to work in Indian films again. I would love to.

My work is really simple. They say 'action,' I do my stuff; they say, 'cut!'

I'm a grandfather now, and when I watch children's shows with my two-year-old grandson, Arlo, I'm delighted because it's completely non-traditional casting. It feels like a utopia. How the world should be.

True Lies' reinvented me in the eyes of a new generation and got me offers.

Today, loss is something everybody feels. It could be the loss of a friend moving away. It could be your best friend moves to the other side of town or his family does. It's a loss.

Most families are dysfunctional.

I questioned the blind faith demanded by my religion, which was Islam.

I grew up in Balham in south London, and my best friend's brother was Geoffrey Robinson, who of course later became paymaster general, but at that time, he was working in politics.

I do sometimes cook myself, and I do enjoy it, though it does depend what's in the fridge, and filming can mean I don't have much time.

My all time favourite films - one is 'Mary Poppins,' and the other one is 'Pakeezah.' 'Pakeezah' was an Indian film. The beauty of 'Pakeezah' was that it had a soundtrack which was pure poetry.

If people ever stop making films about India, I'd never work again.
