"Well, maybe Mr. T hacked the game and created a Mohawk class! Maybe, Mr. T's pretty handy with computers! Had that occurred to you, Mr. "Condescending" Director?!"

"Mr. T has the greatest hair in the world. You can't deny it, it's been proven by science, fool!"

"Shut up, fool!"

"Yo makin' me mad sucker, cold water never hurt nobody! It's time to get in da pool, 'cause you're goin' swimmin', fool! TAKE THAT, TOEDIPPER! Argh! Argh! I hate flying, so this had better be the last time I see yo cryin'! Snickers, get some nuts!"

"SPEEDWALKING?! I pity you fool! You a disgrace to the man race! It's time to run like a real man! Take that speedwalker! Do it again sucker, and there's going to be trouble! With a capital Mr.T! Snickers, get some nuts!"

"Quit yo Jibber-jabber! You ain't hurt, yo pathetic!, Argh! If I ever catch you acting like a crazy fool again, you're gonna meet my friend pain! Snickers, get some nuts!"

"Anger - use it, but don't lose it!"

"Calvin Klein and Gloria Vanderbilt don't wear clothes with your name on it, so why should you wear their name?"

"Hey, everybody gotta’ put on clothes and if you don’t you get arrested."

"Hey, you with the teeth..."

"Do you know me? Of course you do. 'Cause I'm famous!"

"First name Mr, middle name 'period', last name T!"

"We didn't starve. We spent wisely. Like I tell people in the ghetto, "If you can buy guns and bullets, why can't you buy food? You can buy heroin and crack cocaine, so why can't you buy bread and butter and milk? Why can't you pay your rent?" There's a lot of people in the ghetto who go out and get a fancy car and all that. The car costs more than their house. Meanwhile, your kids need shoes. That's not cool."

"Everything started as a dream. You gotta have insight, know what you want. You gotta have a plan. Like I tell anybody, if you fail to plan, you're planning to fail. I've been planning ever since I was a youngster. You've got to start from somewhere. There's nothing wrong or demeaning in flipping burgers. It's more proud than selling drugs."

"I didn't just start doing this today. Not like some people that have a movie coming out, so they go visit kids in the hospital. You don't need that phony crap. All of these celebrities, they turn my stomach with their funny stuff. I've been going in the ghettos without the press, without bodyguards, talking to kids. "Get to reading, stay in school. You don't have to carry a gun." I know about peer pressure and all that, but I say, "Hey, they called me a sissy because I wouldn't join a gang. Who was calling me a sissy? Does it make me a sissy because somebody called me a sissy?" [...] I'm going to fight if you touch me or hurt me or do harm to my family. But if you call me a bad name, or whatnot, I'm too smart for that. That's the message the kids need to hear coming from me. I tell them, "If I fought every time somebody called me a name, I would never get out of jail. But I'm disciplined. I'm smarter than that." So I tell them, like my mother said, "Consider the source." When you see who called you the name, then you understand why they're doing it. Then you don't have to stoop that low."

"See, if I come into a black neighborhood and say, "Thanks for watching my show," and give out high fives and all that, I'm not doing no good. I go out and see a kid grabbing his crotch. Ain't nobody telling them that. Where do they get it from? They watch MTV. I say, "If you wash up more often, you won't have to grab your crotch." I'm telling these guys, "Why you gotta grab your crotch?" Then you see Michael Jackson grabbing his crotch 50 times. What's with him?"

"You got to believe in the ball, and throw your self. (Not Another Teen Movie)"

"Teachin' fools some basic rules! (I pity the fool)"

"The jibba jabba stops here! (I pity the fool)"

"Life's tough, but I'm tougher! (I pity the fool)"

"I am not insecure enough to count the bouquets I receive on my birthday, I don’t assess my popularity by the number of magazine covers I am on, I don’t get worried if my song is on the seventh position on countdown charts."

"Money is a good thing to run after. It is very important to be financially stable but you have to keep your wrongs and rights in mind. Don't shy away from earning but without selling your soul."

"My family likes me as a person and not because I am an actor. I never mix the two. I don't know how much I earn or how many awards I have received."

"I am where I never thought I would be. I got much more than what I had expected. I am strong believer in God, hard work and honesty."

"My strength to work in such situations comes from my family and people who love to watch me."

"I believe the show must go on."

"I am the same old actor. When people question me I really look back and think but I feel people love characters like Rahul or Raj because they are different. Every role is different and I am not reinventing myself as an actor."

"The essence is that I leave something of me in every role — not 100 per cent."

"I am not someone who believes to doing a film just because it is off beat."

"I believe it is my job to tell people about what the good points of either company are. I'm not lying in either case."

"If I leave Pepsi, and later Coke tells me to do something for them, I'd do it. I have no issues, whether Coke and Pepsi have different ideologies or not. See, I'm called for a job, I'd do it."

"Creativity has this problem, sometimes it'll be liked, sometimes it won't. It's unfortunate that perhaps we expected something more popular from this music, and it isn't that. See, this is very subjective. You will find enough people who like that also, I think."

"If somebody is working very hard, or deserves a lot of money, pay him upfront, say he is going to be working for so much time, he deserves it – and then put the rest of the money where it should go. But unfortunately, that sort of transparency is rarely there."

"If I'm ever asked to do something in the national interest, do a project of national relevance, it's not as if I will not charge for it, but I will ensure that what I give back is not just worth that money, but is a little more than that."

"I may say things with the right intention, but more often than not, people will misconstrue it."

"We are not supposed to have an opinion. If we have an opinion, it has to be controversial – that is how we are always projected. It is difficult."

"I don't think movie stars are nationally relevant – it's as simple as that."

"I like talking when people ask me sensible questions. Ask me senseless questions also, but in a context, and I can have fun, I can make you laugh at my answers."

"It takes a lot of intellect to be able to convince people to believe in fantasy – but people don't seem to be able to recognize that."

"I believe my nation is truly secular, I truly believe that."

"Films and filmmakers and actors are part of a strange art form, which is only measured by the yardstick of commerce. So it's a dichotomy; it'll always be so."

"I believe that my wife is the most beautiful woman in the world."

"Just because I am cheerful and jovial and look good, doesn’t mean that I can’t act."

"I don’t feel ill about anyone. I don’t even feel nice about anyone. I just don’t think about them. I am selfish that way. I think about myself, my films and my friends."

"See, these things like enmity and fighting... I don’t think I am at that age anymore."

"I am popular for all that I’ve done on the screen. That is why I’m never ashamed of what I’ve done in front of the camera, nor am I extra-proud of what I’ve done."

"I take care not to remind my audience that I am Shah Rukh Khan. The better thing to do is to hold a mirror for them and to tell them, ‘This is you.’"

"Films are an art form which are sold after packaging in this commercial world."

"Like beauty, stardom too is skin-deep."
