In 2009, I was on top of the world. It was truly the greatest year of my life, both personally and professionally. In 2010, it was the furthest thing from that. It was the most terrible year of my life, both personally and professionally.
You learn a lot in life but there are a lot of tools and resources in school that help you grow professionally and personally for whatever goal you may want to achieve.
Most of the major mistakes I made in my life, I made when I was too tired to know what I was doing - both personally and professionally.
Joy is the realest reality, the fullest life, and joy is always given, never grasped. God gives gifts and I give thanks and I unwrap the gift given: joy.
My journey to Sridevi started when I was preparing for my debut film 'Shiva.' I used to walk from Nagarjuna's office in Chennai to a neighbouring street where Sridevi used to live, and I used to just stand and watch Sridevi's house from outside her gate.
The main advantage Sridevi and I had was that we acted in films which were South remakes. What we had done in the South, we did the same in Hindi.
As we learn to give thanks for all of life and death, for all of this given world of ours, we find a deep joy. It is the joy of trust, the joy of faith in the faithfulness at the heart of all things. It is the joy of gratefulness in touch with the fullness of life.
I love the fact that Atlanta has given the entertainment industry an additional and growing hub. The opportunities personally and professionally have been a wonderful blessing.
Personally, I've never been popular, so I'm not surprised that professionally I'm a bit out of step, too.
May we all soon go about as our real selves and take joy in it, saying, yes, yes, to whatever we are.
I think for everything that people say about me as a person today - whether it's about being disciplined and grounded or whatever - I think a lot of it is a credit to my father, who has been a massive influence in my life both professionally and personally.
When I was young in the business, I felt anything I wanted to buy personally and professionally was always too expensive.
My life has flourished in so many ways both personally and professionally that I can't ask for a better life.
It's not okay to just make up false things about someone, especially in their personal life. Professionally, fine! Scrutinize me all you want. I know that I can't please everyone, but personally, let's just leave it alone. It's going too far.
I have learned to feel my way through life, personally and professionally.
Everything in my life has happened very early, personally and professionally.
