Aamir Khan

When material comes to me, I don't care where it's coming from. Japan, Singapore, China, Africa... it could be from everywhere. The material should excite me. It's not important where it's coming from.

The journey that I have undertaken, meeting people from all walks of life and learning from them, has been my biggest achievement.

When I am shooting a film, then everything goes soft focus. My family also complains that I don't give them time.

When I was new, I didn't know where my career will go. Initially, my films were not even successful, but then I learned a lot from my mistakes.

Our choices are quite different: what attracts Salman and Shah Rukh are, I think, quite different from what attracts me. So in that sense, we are quite different, but I think we are fortunate to have had the kind of success that we've had.

My films are so new and unique that I don't know where I will end up. Fear keeps me alert. And it's also a part of an excitement.

The way actors interact with their audience via Twitter is a part of their personality. So if I interact less, that is a part of my personality. I am mostly lost in my own world.

I am happy that I have entertained people and made them happy.

I understand that I'm able to connect with people; I have an emotional bonding with people. My strength lies in my ability to tell stories and to touch people's hearts and to move them.

For me, acting is not a job. It is something I love. I don't do these things for awards or rewards. I do them because I love challenges.

For me, the driving emotion of selecting a film is that I just love that story. It may give a message, it may not give a message - that's fine. I just loved it.

If 10 people see my movie and all ten really love it, then that means a lot to me, rather than ten million people go and see it and most of them hate it.
