Acting is a career where you keep learning with every film you do.

I am very critical about the way I look.

It might sound cowardly, but I do agree that if you speak out about the casting couch, it will end your career.

When I first started out in Telugu cinema, I signed anything and everything that came my way. I was 18, was immature, and it felt like a good idea that 'Oh, they are paying me a good amount of money.' I was young, naive; I had zero ambition, and honestly, it wasn't my calling.

When we get the private sector going through job creation and growth, then the governments at all level have revenues to do the things that they need to do. And that's why it's so important to get this economy moving, to get jobs created. We can't keep going on with this anemic recovery.

I take inspiration from everything around me, also relationships and friends. And the inside of my crazy head.

In life, you have got to make the best of every situation; you have to keep going.

Keep going on hikes, keep having your friends in your life, keep that downtime sacred as well because as hard as you work in any job, it's really nice to have the relaxing de-stressors. Stress is the worst thing. That's the ultimate demise of any good thing.
