“When I'm not on T.V. or working on a movie, I'm on the road doing stand-up. That's my roots.”

“Usually, there's nothing being thrown toward the stage or at me. Then I feel pretty good about it.”

“I knew I was outspoken when I was a kid because, whenever my parents had company coming over, they would pay me to leave. 'Go see your grandmother. Get out of here.' That was my first paying gig.”

“My father hails from Shantigrama in Hassan, but my family moved to Bengaluru. Even though I was born and raised in Bengaluru, I have strong ties with my roots.”

“On some subconscious level, I've been prejudiced against turnips, parsnips, swedes and other roots. Do they taste of much? Are they really special? How wrong I was.”

“I don't believe in the whole thing of staying anywhere - we are meant to explore, to travel, and meant to spread our roots.”
