I don't know why all these actors think going to a gym or riding horses or learning how to fight are the steps to becoming an actor.

Even my early memories of Chandni Chowk are all about food.

For the first 25 years of my career, I did nothing but sing and dance.

All my performances have been unrehearsed.

Honestly, I always told my coaches my whole career - we'll practice two-minute drills in practice, like, once a week and everything - I'm just like, 'Those are my favorite time of football.' I'm out there in total control, just getting everything lined up, getting everybody on the same page, and obviously, usually it's pass after pass after pass.

My father was a bricklayer, and my mother was a housewife. It was complicated, obviously, because of our humble origin, but thank God we were all focused.

I was always asking people about their work. How do you do a job like that? Do you love it? What does it pay? I was lucky to have access to people who could answer my questions. Otherwise, my life could have turned out very differently.

If God came down here with the box that had the reason for living in it, I'd like to find just 2 words: The Music. That would be neat.
