Dad is the one I turn to for critique. It helps me to keep growing. When he said 'I am so proud of you,' it meant so much to me.

I feel an image is a creeping jail growing all around you without you even realising it. Suddenly, you are trapped, and an actor should never be trapped.

I hold the record for the maximum number of obituaries written for an actor's career.

A director like Ram Gopal Varma brings out a different dimension in your performance.

Deciding together to have a child and sharing in child-rearing do not immunize a marriage. Indeed, collaborative couples can face other problems. They often embark on such an intense style of parenting that they end up paying less attention to each other.

I'm also interested in the modern suggestion that you can have a combination of love and sex in a marriage - which no previous society has ever believed.

I think that marriage of music and picture is so vital, especially in a film that's almost exclusively exteriors.

When you're old-fashioned like I am, you know marriage is forever. Those vows are a promise.
