I still remember 1997 when I made the movie 'Storm Riders;' that moment, a lot of American producers want to hire me to make movies in the States.
By being part of films like 'Judwaa 2,' I can ensure that I garner more fans, who'd then want to watch me in other powerful films.
In Hollywood, she's revered, she gets nominated for Oscars, but I've never heard anyone in the public or among my friends say, 'Oh, I love Winona Ryder.'
I wasn't an actor. They they take the externals. Here I was, a kid thrown into Hollywood with a brand-new name, starring in motion pictures.
Stanley Kramer? Spencer Tracy? No one turns down being in a movie with them.
My first year and a half in Hollywood, I did three films. Then in 1959, I was in 'Gidget,' 'Imitation of Life' and 'A Summer Place.' After that, I was a star. It was fun.
When people ask me to describe my journey in Hindi cinema post-'Barfi!' I actually don't know what to say.
'Kahaani' gave me popularity and 'Gangs of Wasseypur' stardom.
I'm flattered if any movie role and my name are mentioned in the same sentence, because there haven't been a ton of them.
It was very weird because for a long time no one really recognised me from my films, but 'The Hobbit' has totally changed that, and I've had some really special moments, especially with youngsters.
I don't want to be a movie star like Angelina Jolie. Nothing about being a celebrity is desirable. I'm an actor. It's bizarre to me that everybody's so obsessive.
I think it's a huge a opportunity for me, because I am part of a film that has stars like Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol. It will grab eyeballs and I will get noticed, too. I hope 'Race 3' opens more doors for me.
Ideally, I'd like to go right back to getting $7 million a picture and being the headliner. That's probably not going to happen.
Actors strive to be part of something like 'Twilight' and what 'Twilight' is, is unbelievable.
Angelina Jolie was always a Method actress. She'd been nominated for Golden Globes before she ever did 'Tomb Raider.'
I got my first blockbuster break for the movie 'Cocktail,' where I sang 'Second Hand Jawani.'
When I initially started acting, all I wanted to do was to be in one movie. That's it. That was my goal.
Ram Kapoor is a formidable actor.
I don't want to be famous as a movie star and have the whole world love me, I want to be a creative actress.
I do want to be in mainstream movies that are going to be seen. I suppose it satisfies the showbiz side of me.
If I never did another film after 'Paris, Texas,' I'd be happy.
I would die if Woody Allen ever called and said, 'Emma, I have a role for you.'
Getting a role in 'Harry Potter' was like winning the lottery. But no one deserves an acting job.
I think every American actor wants to be a movie star. But I never wanted to do stupid movies, I wanted to do films.
I never considered myself a movie star, and I didn't want to become a movie star, because as soon as you do, you throw away that possibility of playing character. You really do. All of a sudden you're just an entity, you know?
