I am a huge fan of Aamir Khan.
— Himesh Reshammiya
Before I got the desired effect in my voice, I trained in classical music under my father for several years.
I don't pick up fights casually. I fight for what is right.
I am a Gujarati by birth, but having spent most of the growing up years in Mumbai, I can eat all kinds of food, from pizza to Thai, but given a choice, I want to stick to Indian.
I relish tea, but I am not an addict. Twice a day is fine.
Talent alone is never enough.
Never take your critics lightly. You must always try to win them over by your hard work. Don't brush them off.
You should not think of business while performing your art. This advice holds true for every artiste, irrespective of what he is doing.
I don't have the temperament of being a director.
Pooja Bhatt is a very good director.
With 'The Xpose,' the main challenge was to create timeless melodies. The thriller is set in the '60s, and we didn't want the songs to sound dated.
I knew that I couldn't afford to go wrong with the music of 'Karzzz.'
I took a break from doing music to concentrate on acting.
In one word, if I have to describe 'Damadamm!' then I will say that the performances, the music, and the script reflect sincerity.
To be good in playback, you need to modulate your voice and sing with an accent that can provide some freshness.
I'm unapologetic about multi-tasking. From being a television producer to a musician, an actor, and a film producer, I would like to believe there has been growth in my career.
Everything that I have earned in my life is just because of my guruji and his omnipotent blessing.
I work out a lot, and I had to control my diet to be fit.
Comedy is one genre that I really want to come my way because I was loved for my funny character in 'Khiladi 786.' So, if approached with a good script and good songs, I will certainly take it up.
Everything about me is so odd: I look weird. I have a nasal voice. I'm arrogant. my singing raises the dead from the grave. I am inspired by Altaf Raja, as one report mentioned, and so much more. I have stopped fighting all these rumours and remarks.
Just praise is not enough; you've got to get work to survive.
This whole game of hit and flops will always be there and I have survived because I am hit. I think industry works on hit and flop.
I know kids who participated in reality shows and became a superstar over time without singing for films, because the opportunities are wider besides films.
You must never get carried away by your success; many people tend to do so after they achieve success in the initial stages of their life. Your feet must be on the ground all the time.
Sometimes in life, mutual respect becomes most important, and giving due respect to our relationship, Komal and I have amicably decided to part ways legally as husband and wife.
I love Bollywood, I love films, and I like to push myself, which motivates me to work harder.
'Radio' was made at a budget of Rs 6 crore. Thankfully, the money invested in making the film was recovered through music.
I was really sickened with people passing on comments that I have nasal touch while singing. Naturally, when anyone sings with high-pitched octaves, some notes may slight get in touch modalities with nasal, and that doesn't actually mean 'nasal singing.'
My nasal voice has given me recognition.
After giving countless hit songs, I felt saturated. I decided to do music only for my own films and music albums. And so, I decided to start my own music label.
'Damadamm!' is a sweet comedy, and there is always room for watching a feel-good entertainer on Diwali.
I am only 30, and music is like a subject for me. I work like a student in every film.
I agree that my films have flopped, and I have been slammed for my nasal voice, my look, and my dialogue delivery. But every time I got a negative feedback, I went out of my way to work on it.
The concept of 'The Voice' has received acclamation worldwide. There will be blind auditions where the coaches will pick contestants without seeing them. It will be a unique concept for the Indian audience.
I am neither hurt nor disturbed by the occasional backbiting and criticism from my colleagues. By and large, the music industry has been very supportive.
I love challenges, as it breaks the monotony and takes me out of my comfort zone.
I had never dreamt of acting.
I eat four times a day. The evening snacks are a must.
When my films didn't work, I wondered what was wrong in my acting graph, and then I realised the dedication I had for music, I didn't have the same for acting.
Nowadays, everyone is sporting a tattoo, so the uniqueness of having one is gone unless you have an original tattoo.
Your mind and soul must be completely involved in your work all the time. This is how you will achieve success.
It was a little difficult for me to get six pack abs because I wanted to get them naturally without taking any supplements, and thus it took about three times the usual time.
I took advice from Salman Khan, getting health tips because he is my mentor, and I take his advice for everything I do from Salman bhai. He has given me a lot of tips on body building because he was the first person to start the trend of fitness in the country.
I worked for a year to get into the right shape for 'Teraa Surroor.'
Satish Kaushik has a knack of coming up with very good remakes.
I have experimented with various genres of music, whether its rock, pop, slow songs, etc.
The music of 'Damadamm!' will be released by my company, HR Musik, and you will find a completely different Himesh in every song.
I am shy. People misconstrue it as arrogance.
I have always believed in reinventing myself and taking risks.
There can never be another Kishore Kumar.
