Giving back is something that comes from the heart to me. It's not that I do it because it's the right thing: I do it because I want do it.

The trouble, in my opinion, with corporate America today, is that everything is thought of in quarters.

If you don't have integrity, you have nothing. You can't buy it. You can have all the money in the world, but if you are not a moral and ethical person, you really have nothing.

If you have something at risk, you think differently.

I signed 'Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon' only for a year. But the producer requested me to stay on, as the show had just started to make money. I carried on, and in the process, the character became very popular. When I finally gave up, changing the actor for that character was difficult, so the show ended.

Hollywood is a world where the only thing that gets green-lit is something that made money the last year.

The importance of money flows from it being a link between the present and the future.

If we did go into a recession, something that's always possible for the U.S. or Europe, we could lower interest rates and expand the money supply without worrying about the price of gold.
