It's gotten to the point where it's big news when I don't do a horror film.
I always have roles with a depressing childhood for some reason. I have a nice childhood, so I don't know why.
The rhythm of my career has always been very static, staccato and then silent, and then a lot of work, and then none.
That's what I tend to do - get into a band, and then it gets busy… and you want to get away from it all again. That's what happened with the Moodies and Wings.
The Band was always famous for its retirements; we'd go and play and get a little petty cash together, and then not see each other till it was time to fill our pockets up again.
People usually start off on a high note in their careers and then wane off and then restart with a comeback.
My father had always been a traveling salesman - New England, the South, whatever.
I always seem to get parts where I play the sports professional - and that's not me at all!
It's like my career is divided in phases. There comes a phase when I only do Tollywood movies, back to back, and then there is a phase when I do only Hindi films.
I've sort of done a play every four or five years I guess if I look back in my career. And I think that's good.
