I am continually embarrassed by people who point me out as an example of what can be done without training.
I still think my whole career was accidental. I didn't pursue it. I feel like I'm cheating sometimes.
The movie I made with my friends in my hometown based on a dream becomes a stepping stone to 'Spider-Man.' I wish I could say this was an amazing, calculated path but... It's so weird.
No matter what I do, it somehow comes out right - even if it was a mistake!
Sometimes you just stumble into something that works, and here I am a quarter of a century later.
I tell people that I've now done one decent thing in my life. Albeit inadvertently.
I think, like all big things, you don't know they're going to be a big thing when you start. You just kind of, like, play because it's fun, and it's interesting, and then it turns out to be way more important than you expected.
Writing and directing just sort of fell into my lap.
We always said our career was built on our friendship and that our friendship was the secret of our success. The career just happened by accident.
I got into the movies by accident. When I got an offer, I thought, 'Let's try this, too.' Everything in my life has happened by trial and error. I didn't even think I would win the Miss India title, so where's the question of thinking I'd come this far.
The stand up, everything was accidental. I never grew up and was the class clown and had to get the attention. It was - it really is, I have a career despite myself.
To bother about the best method of accomplishing an accidental result.
It's not like I ever sat in my room and said I was going to start a media company and become an editor in chief. It was never my dream. It was something that just happened.
The beauty about my career is that none of it was really calculated.
I think I'm one of those actors who has come around the backside of something, you know? I came in the backdoor without even realizing that that's what I was doing.
One does not study for a goal. One sings because one can't help it! The 'goal' nine times out of ten is a mere accident.
I guess I accidentally became a part of history. Honestly, when you're young and you're a designer, you have a goal, but that is not the kind of goal that you even think it's possible to achieve.
