I have always been more interested in experiment, than in accomplishment.

I'm never certain of a performance - my own or the other actors' - or the script or anything... But to me it seems there's only one place in the world the camera can be, and the decision usually comes immediately.

Nobody gets justice. People only get good luck or bad luck.

I have the terrible feeling that, because I am wearing a white beard and am sitting in the back of the theatre, you expect me to tell you the truth about something. These are the cheap seats, not Mount Sinai.

Working in theater, film, or television are three different jobs for an actor, and I accept them as such.

For me, restrictions are not always negative. Restrictions can push creativity. I like restrictions.

I have seen Colonial churches since I was very small, Colonial painting and polychrome sculpture. And that was all I saw. There was not a single modern painting in any museum, not a Picasso, not a Braque, not a Chagall. The museums had Colombian painters from the eighteenth century and, of course, I saw Pre-Columbian art. That was my exposure.

To be honest, I hadn't realised the greatness of film music till I was exposed to film songs after I started living in Mumbai.
