I do heavy workout for one-and-a-half hours every day.
— Himesh Reshammiya
The cap that I wear on a particular day depends purely on my dress code.
My hobby is my profession, and therefore, I keep on composing creatively.
I have too much work as a composer to concentrate on singing.
It is important for children to learn, whether they want to pursue music or any other field.
Music is my first love, as it's in my blood.
I feel Salman Khan is not only a superstar, but also the greatest human being because of the kind of charity he does, the kind of noble thoughts he has and the love and care he shows towards his close ones.
Audiences are not interested in watching singers who stand stiffly and sing for three hours.
I am very conscious of first sampling the music and then getting it out for fans.
Singing and composing come naturally to me, but acting does not. I have worked at it and attended several workshops to learn the craft.
The appreciation that we received after the release of the audio of 'Every Night and Day' is all because of Iulia Vantur. According to me as a composer of this song, she made this song sound very fresh.
I know there are many great talents, much more talented than I am, but they haven't been able to achieve what I have.
I have a collection of caps, but I never count them.
There was a time when I composed for 30 films in a year. In such a short-spanned career, I have done 100 films and 500 songs. I am used to working hard.
I do everything from my heart.
I make singers sing every note fully and wait till they hit the right note.
I am happy to be a composer.
I acted in 'Aap Kaa Surroor,' which did well. But after that, films didn't work for me.
I love all kinds of caps and hats, but my favourite is the baseball cap.
Whatever my singing aspirations are, you'll hear them in 'Aap Ka Suroor.' It's no run-of-the-mill album.
When I sang in 'Aashiq Banaya Aapne,' I never imagined the song would be such a rage.
'Dasavatharam' is science fiction, a multi-crore budgeted film worth Rs 50 to 60 crore and ahead of its time.
A lot of planning goes into ensuring that every project becomes a super hit.
Just being around Salman Khan, who is so energetic and humorous at the same time, is always entertaining.
Live audiences are quite demanding. They shower you with love and admiration, but only if you have done a very good job.
I had a lot of songs which, I felt, if they come in an album, they can become bigger hits than in films.
I am keen to prove myself as an actor.
If everything in my career has to be made into an autobiography, then there will be people who might think that I am trying to make a statement. But I don't want to do that.
If you are being criticised, and you are unsuccessful, then that can be a low for you. But if you are doing good and still being slammed, then it is good.
When I started singing, people said I couldn't sing because I was a music director. I proved them wrong.
I am a huge fan of Yash Chopra, Karan Johar, Farah Khan, Sooraj Barjatiya or Sanjay Leela Bhansali or Aditya Chopra. They are great legends.
I always believe that it is destiny and divine intervention that are with me.
See, talent is important, and so is hard work. But if you don't have destiny and good karma on your side, talent cannot do the magic by itself.
Many people do not know how hard I work. There are many days I work more than 18 hours.
Salman Khan has the fittest body for the last 25 years. He looks younger each passing year. He inspires me a lot.
As a singer, I always try to keep my music videos clean.
I'll sing for my films only when I want to.
I like to create a sound and then leave it behind.
Salman Khan gave me a break, and that proved to be a boon. By the grace of God, my first song was a blockbuster.
I don't use conventional voices for my compositions.
When my father is happy with my music, I know I have done something good, and there is no question of generation gap.
Quite often, when I am recording a song or getting ready for a concert, I pray.
'Karzzz' was a mistake.
In 'Radio,' I play Vimesh, a 34-year-old guy who solves others' problems on the radio, while he himself undergoes turmoil in his life with his wife deciding to divorce him. I think the audience will relate to the character.
A singer doesn't sing at home: he or she wants his songs to reach out the audience. Audience always gives you your due.
I am a human, and I fear flops.
I will stop nasal singing. I will change if the time comes. I am 100% sure about it. The day I feel people are loving some different kind of music, I will opt for it and change myself.
Critics said I am nasal, but my fans made me hit. So I will not stop singing if critics don't like me.
Big producers trust the music directors. Small directors are insecure but like to experiment.
I love to simplify the ragas and use them in my music as much as possible.
