When I started my career, I gave four flops, and then four hits, two flops, two hits, and then three flops.
More than the hits, flops will have an impact on my career. In fact, flops helped me shape my career. They made me look at things from a different angle.
So if radio flops, and MTV flops and everything flops, it doesn't matter, as long as we're still playing and kids are coming to our shows.
I've been part of the biggest hits and flops.
You learn more from the flops than from the hits.
I always had a fair share of hits and flops.
I always say that you should remake flops, not hits.
Hits and flops will always be there for any actor.
Hits and flops are part and parcel of movie business.
Hits and flops happen in everyone's careers. Be it an actor or a filmmaker, you can't let that affect your conviction.
Usually I am not overexcited about hits or down in the dumps for flops. I maintain a degree of equilibrium.

Hits and flops will come and go. But what stays with you is the experience you had while shooting a film. I am happy learning something new each time.
When people say they take hits and flops in their stride, I personally feel that they are just lying. Of course, I'm upset when my movies flop. I take it very personally.
I think I have stopped being nervous about the outcome of a film. The five consecutive flops in 1997 and the five consecutive hits in 1999 have mellowed me in many ways.
