“What acting offered me was the chance to be many other people.” — Charlton Heston Quote

What acting offered me was the chance to be many other people.

I like portraying heroes of antiquity whose values were grander and more spectacular than those of today.

It's been quite a ride. I loved every minute of it.

I've played three presidents, three saints and two geniuses - and that's probably enough for any man.

As an artist, I understand that, and I value the creative input of the artist.

One day, a photographer living in our building came up to my mom and asked her if I would like to model. After a few days, I was offered a Kannada film, 'Chiru,' which was a lot of fun. But I had to complete my studies, so I went back to college.

I've been offered a peerage already, and turned it down.

I personally believe that the office of the President of India is not to be sought. It is to be offered.

I had good skills, but my lack of size and speed kept me a little behind the best kids in the other sports. Golf offered a more level field. I would have rather played other sports, but golf picked me.
