I'm pretty easy going, I think.
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
'English Vinglish' is simple; that's why people like it. The film has simplicity and sensitivity. There is no melodrama. Some things have been conveyed just through expressions and no lines.
Really, contrary to popular belief, I like to have a good time and not take myself too seriously.
My main focus was to be a great teammate. That's all I hoped to accomplish. I don't really care about legacies.
I never wished that I was a superstar. Hell, I never even wished that I was an actress.
Things come in waves, and I'm always more interested in places like, for instance, Chicago, where people don't follow fashion. They're not galloping past your window on the way to the latest anything. They're living their lives. You do a play, they come and see it and say, 'That's nice', and then they go home.
... a modest man. He has every reason to be modest.
Clement Attlee, Lord Privy Seal and later the Socialist Prime Minister, was:
I'm one of those people who would be OK with fading back into the background a little bit.
My perfect guy wears converse, is totally laid back, and doesn't worry about being cool.
I'm so down to earth, I'm bringing gravity back.
When I'm not working, I'm really, really low key. I don't wear makeup unless I have to; I don't get my hair done unless I really need to.
I try to keep a low profile in general. Not with my art, but just as a person.
Truth is ever to be found in simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a quiet guy.
I've always been a super regular guy.
If I meet two guys at the same time and one of them is coming on really strong and talking a lot, and the other is more quiet and reserved, I'm going to like the second one. I want someone who isn't going to give it away in the first meeting.
I don't think of myself as an American Master. I've just been making a living.
Those who know me know I'm not a person who has a flashy lifestyle.
I've always been a reserved cat. When I play sports, there's people used to get mad at me because I didn't hang out and things like that. I've never been that kind of person. Nothing has changed in that regard. I've never been posse, and all that. I'm a quiet storm.
Simplicity is a key to avoiding complication. Part of the definition of simplicity is 'not complex or complicated; sincere.'
I'm being myself when the camera is rolling.
I've never been cocky. Even right now I don't like to talk about the Olympics.
I'm a humble guy, I'm pretty down to earth.
The thing about simplicity is it's not easy to achieve. To many, simplicity can mean repetitiveness and maybe even a lack of intelligence, those kind of things, but simple yet unique is the key.
