Shahrukh Khan

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

"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."

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

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

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

"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 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."

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

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

"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."

"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."

"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 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."

"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."

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

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

"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."

"I believe the show must go on."

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

"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 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."

"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."
