When I was growing up, my mother, who had been through a lot of terrible things in life, taught me that when life is tough your instinct is to close your heart. But if you can accept what happened and reach out to someone, there will always be someone less fortunate, or someone that can bring a solution and help your life.

People always think that because of 'Dr. Quinn' that I just play nice family stuff. But the truth of the matter is that 'East of Eden' was a very successful thing for me in the past. I've played a lot of very evil people in my time.

Dr. Quinn' came along when I turned 40, so my career actually peaked then.

After my divorce, painting took me out of panic mode and into a serene, calm place. I could absolutely lose myself.

Horror comedy - very rare in Bollywood.

My family has been amazing, and they understand how blessed I am. They've been able to keep my sense of humor.

I made four comedies, and all did well, but I always wanted to do an action film. When I saw 'Singham,' I thought this was the right film. Many stopped me, saying, 'You are doing so well in comedy, why do you want to make this film?'

If you like a conversational style of comedy, if you like comedy that's a little dangerous, I'm your guy.
