I like 'Bewitched' off the first album because it's one of the happiest songs I've ever written and, as any writer will tell you, happy songs are a million times more difficult to write than sad songs.

There should be a place and the space for all pop.

Sometimes, an afternoon spent in bed with someone can be the most important thing in the universe.

The Americans are more honest about it and just call it college rock.

Those big films are scary things. There's so much money behind those things. There's that hype. You enter a machine.

One must beware of ministers who can do nothing without money, and those who want to do everything with money.

If you have a traditional view of economics, you're probably thinking of Ben Bernanke making Fed policy, or the guys creating financial derivatives at Goldman Sachs.

Jokes apart, people are constantly asking me, 'What are you doing for the industry?' When one makes a blockbuster, you plough back money into the industry. If my film makes 100 crore, I'm not taking the entire sum home! It gets distributed between the exhibitors, distributors, producers and actors.
