I know that gossip comes with a territory. It's a professional hazard, and while initially, I'd get a little riled, I've now learnt to handle it well. And honestly speaking, it's all very good publicity, isn't it?

Except for a few episodes, I have not watched any of my shows. I don't think I like to watch myself on TV. I get very critical about what I am saying.

I want to write a script, but before that, I am planning to compile a book of short stories.

I've never planned any of my career moves. Things have just happened, and luckily, they've worked out for the best.

There are times I am happy. There are times I am sad. But I always try to separate emotion from the need to reach for something stronger, deeper. And then no matter the emotion, I can reach for a stability that helps me accomplish what is the goal.

It's not necessary to fear the prospect of failure but to be determined not to fail.

Each day, you can awake and focus on small, easy goals you can accomplish in the short term - goals that, over time, will lead you to your long-term goal.

The key to success is to focus our conscious mind on things we desire not things we fear.
