“I have a reputation for not turning up to sing. It's something I want ...” — Nico Quote

I have a reputation for not turning up to sing. It's something I want very badly to get rid of.

Sometimes I'm sad and mostly I like sad songs.

When I started with the Velvets, I wanted to sing Lou's song 'I'm Waiting for the Man,' but he wouldn't let me. I guess he thought I didn't understand its meaning, and he was right.

I guess I'm rather self-destructive, and I like to give other people who are self-destructive a song to sing.

I haven't that much of a sense of humour.

When I saw the original versions of 'Virasat' and 'Gardish,' I felt the content was so good but that they had shot the films very badly. I knew that if I could get such content, I could shoot it much better. That was what I did.

We cannot say that if a child is badly nourished he will become a criminal. We must see what conclusion the child has drawn.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.

I actually was a competitive gymnast for the first part of my life. From age 6 to 12, I dedicated pretty much everything to that, until I got injured really badly.
