I like female directors that gravitate toward masculine things. I think the danger of a male director is the over-fetishization of the masculinity.

The characters I play always seem eerily appropriate to where I am in my personal life at the time, and if they're not, there always tends to be this notion that I should be learning something to apply to my own life from these people.

I'm friends with a lot of Brits, and they tell me when they're over here what a huge phenomenon 'The Wire' has become. Some things just attain critical mass after they're already dead and buried, and I don't know why it was the case with 'The Wire'.

I just auditioned for 'The Wire' like I just auditioned for any other job.

I'm very free-spirited and crazy. I love to have fun, and I like doing stupid things. At the same time, I'm like a 35-year-old. I have a house. I have a car. I have a steady job. I have a business, and I have to make serious decisions.

You have to enjoy yourself when you go to the movies. People don't want to spend their hard earned money to simply go see a history lesson.

It is an exciting moment in my career to be a part of a huge project like 'Bharat.'

I admit to have made some bad decision in the initial stage of my career and paid the price. I can't afford to do such a mistake again.
