“I can't dance like Hrithik Roshan. I don't have the necessary glamour ...” — R. Madhavan Quote

“I can't dance like Hrithik Roshan. I don't have the necessary glamour like some of the other actors do. They are able to sell themselves on that aspect. I do roles and films which are very realistic. So, in those films, if you don't get into the skin of it, they won't look convincing.”

“I am very choosy about my films. I don't do a film just for the sake of money.”

“I dislike the trait of ungratefulness.”

“Television is a good training ground for aspiring stars. You can experiment and get away, imbibing the positive and viable aspects. Whereas, in cinema, the stakes are high. If something goes wrong, the film falls flat.”

“All great scripts need not reach silver screen, and every good story can't be narrated in a 2-hour film.”

“I don't want to buy a jet plane. I don't want to live with an entourage.”

“Sometimes, we only get to know someone as one aspect of who they are. Then you start peeling back the layers and understanding more and more about who they are - their vulnerabilities, their fears, their joys, all those other words that equal humanity.”

“Honestly, it's important to not take this whole process of life on this planet too seriously. And you need games to remind you that every aspect of your experience on this planet is a game. And you have to be a good sport. You have to strategize, and you have to have fun.”

“In retrospect, the most unnerving aspect of being openly gay was that it turned out to be as disappointingly normal as being straight.”

“I'm so damn lucky to make a living acting, but it's not that I love it, not all the time. If I couldn't act, I wouldn't die. I'm much more interested in the human aspect of life than the pretend.”

“The genre has moved into this commercial aspect of itself, and ignored this extraordinarily rich literature that's filed everywhere else except under travel.”
