I'd been offered TV series over the years and never had any interest in doing television. I'm not a TV guy.

Quite honestly, it's too tough to get your movies made and then also to get out there and sell them.

The con movie is a little bit different where maybe we tell you what we're going to do but it never goes down the way you expect because there's so much double-crossing and cheats and lies going on along the whole way.

And at no point did making 'Brothers McMullen' feel like work or hardship. It was really just a matter of 11 days of fun over the course of 8 months.

Maybe I should have taken a few chances. That's not to say I want to go make 'Star Wars', but I need to shift my career into the studio world. That's where my head was at when I thought of the original plot.

I no longer take on everything offered. Instead, I go up for roles I like, things that I would enjoy watching, stories that I want to tell.

I was offered 10-12 films during the time that we were working on 'Paani.'

I know the struggle - trust me. I know how hard it is for us to say 'no' to a lot of things that get offered.

Even if you are born with a silver spoon, you have to work hard. I mean, you could be offered films on a platter, but if you don't get up in the morning and learn your lines, it is not going to work.

I can't act for peanuts. Years ago, I was offered a film but I refused point-blank.
