Quotes

  • Life is too short. I don't have time to speak slowly.
  • You create a work of art. You do not know whether it will get public sanction. Sometimes outstanding films do no business, and sometimes films which are not so good work.
  • If I wanted, I could have ruled half of Bombay.
  • Life is all about taking risks, if you never take any, you will never achieve anything.
  • The only way to do great work is to love what you do.
  • Don't be a follower, be a leader.
