In the beginning, in 1975, just how big a star Kamal Haasan was, today's generation does not know.
Amitabh Bachchan is an intelligent actor.
For me, the only superstar is Amitabh Bachchan.
I had admired Richard Burton for years and years before I had ever worked with him. He was a great, great actor. It was a joy to get to know him as a person.
I was about 10 years old. I just remember the film Enter the Dragon with Bruce Lee blowing my mind on the screen and I thought to myself, "That's what I want to do for a living when I'm older." Bruce Lee was so magnetic and charismatic and held the screen so well. It's just a very powerful performance in that film. That's the first memory I have - him in that movie.
I've had a great love for Al Pacino's work since I first saw him on the stage doing 'The Indian Wants the Bronx' in the early '70s. His work is remarkable. He's the real thing.
Gene Hackman is one of the great American actors of all time.
Clint Eastwood is a very soft-spoken, humble guy, actually, which helped put somebody like me at ease, who had never worked with somebody as huge as that. I'm sure that's not always the case with legendary people.
I believe the era of Amitabh Bachchan is not going to come back. He is the last star that we have.
Gene Hackman was a superstar in the '70s - with that face!
I don't think anyone can replace the brand 'Bachchan.' You can call him a brand. But for me, he defines Indian cinema when it comes to actors.
Peter Sellers is my great comedy hero.
Amitabh Bachchan was the coolest character in every movie.
Dilip Kumar was the only Bollywood hero who could make a girl shiver just by looking at her. If you don't believe it, ask your mom!
Amitabh Bachchan is the greatest actor that we have in the country.
I do not believe in superstars. For me the only superstar has been Dilip Kumar and he will always be. I don't consider anybody after him as a superstar.
When I first met Sean Connery he was as charming and wonderful as I first anticipated. I left Rome thinking: even if I don't do this, at least I have had a day with Sean.
Willem Dafoe is a huge hero of mine.
I met Cary Grant once, and I was absolutely star struck. I got his autograph.
When Clark Gable kissed me, they had to carry me off the set.
I love Al Pacino.
My style icon has always been Sidney Poitier.
You got to be careful mentioning people as great as Clint Eastwood. You can't put me in the same sentence as that man.
Daniel Day-Lewis is my favorite actor walking the planet right now. He never ceases to amaze me.
People don't know what star-struck is until they've met Tom Hanks.
