Hits, flops, and everything in between - I got to do a lot of different things as an actor, had a lot of good learning experiences. So I think I've done reasonably okay for myself, and God has given me more than what I've asked for.

I have good memories of Bangalore.

I think playing a comic role is the toughest job for an actor; to put glycerin and cry is easy, but to make people laugh is difficult.

I've done second leads in movies, I've done really small roles, too. Other actors never bother me, I believe I'm decent enough to make my own place.

Even for natives, French satire is rarely laugh-out-loud funny. Its unspoken punch line is typically that things have gone irrevocably wrong, and the government is to blame.

If you want to devote yourself to the arts, you'd better do it strictly from passion, because there is zero guarantee that you'll get anywhere. The hardest thing is dealing with business people who have nothing to do with your art. They could care less that you're up at 4:30 in the morning writing a joke. Don't expect any sympathy from anybody.

Did you know I started out as a stand-up comic? People don't believe me when I tell them. That's how I saw myself, in comedy.

Our comedy was light-hearted amusement that seemingly tripped naturally off the tongue. That's why I don't think it will date.
