I wouldn't want to do a Bollywood film per se, but I would like to do an Indian-language film. For some reason I think Bollywood has become synonymous with commercial cinema, which is song and dance and everything that is larger than life, and I am interested in the reality.
I became very famous, as a teenager, and my name and photo were splashed in all the media. They made me larger than life, so I wanted to live larger than life, and the only way to do that was to be intoxicated.
To me, getting to do music and videos, you work on a character. Being onstage is acting; you get to be larger than life and larger than yourself.
We are always larger than life because we come from this mentality that since we are a very poor nation, we need an escapist cinema to take us out of our miseries. And that's where Bollywood comes from.
You know, larger-than-life politicians have larger-than-life strengths and larger-than-life weaknesses.
There are a lot of discussions where people will decide that James Bond is a superhero, because he's a larger-than-life hero who beats the bad guys by doing larger-than-life things. And I don't think that's a useful definition.
I'm not larger than life, my personality is not larger than life, I promise you. But when I fight I am larger than life, I promise you that.
I honestly believe in a force that's larger than our own.
When one is in town one amuses oneself. When one is in the country one amuses other people. It is excessively boring.
Hollywood amuses me. Holier-than-thou for the public and unholier-than-the-devil in reality
Some people are larger than life. Hitler is larger than death.
I am greedy for both Hollywood and Bollywood. For me, Bollywood is not new, as it is something that I grow up on... I know the plot... stories and characters that are written and made. I haven't got the right opportunity to show my work in Bollywood.
I am not a part of Bollywood. Nobody cares about me in Bollywood and I have mentally resigned from Bollywood long ago. I am an independent filmmaker.
...larger than life...I've never understood that expression. What's larger than life?
You don't have to be larger than life to be a hero, just larger than yourself.
Why should Bollywood accept me? I should accept Bollywood. I don't care if Bollywood has accepted me. I don't seek acceptance. I don't need to live up to anybody's expectations.
