“My main aim in 'Gandhi' was to project him as the vanguard of non-violence. Nowhere in the world has a movement of non-cooperation sans violence received so much support from masses as Gandhi's movement in India did. He was, to a great extent, responsible for freeing his nation from the British Raj.”

“I am passionately opposed to capital punishment, and I have been all my life.”

“And I believe we need heroes, I believe we need certain people who we can measure our own shortcomings by.”

“My aim is to do better than I did in Tokyo. I am glad I won the Olympic gold. I may have got the national record, but I am trying to breach the 90-metre barrier.”

“I think it's important for every individual to have a vision, to have an aim. If you don't have an aim, you don't think; if you don't think, you can't achieve.”

“My aim is not just to help preserve what is left of mountain life, but to create a centre where people can study and learn about it.”
