One must say no to some opportunities to open the possibilities of others.
— Jim Sarbh
Any actor who says that they don't want the attention, and that they're tired of all the interviews and photoshoots, are just pretending.
I am not interested in one-sided characters.
I did plays because I liked plays. I studied psychology because I was fascinated by the subject, and I hope to keep doing films because I love the medium.
It feels good to be able to work with a director and actors I've admired.
I started to view theatre like a spiritual experience. You're on stage saying somebody else's lines, but you're saying them with full commitment of being that person.
If you are being interviewed, just be polite, have fun.
I don't really know or care about trends.
I am a little bored of playing negative characters.
Ideally, for me, the power of appreciation lies in getting better roles and being given more responsibility as an actor.
When a film does well, everyone is usually happy and grateful, but for me, the impression the film leaves upon my mind is created during the process of filming; my memories are not a reflection of critics' reviews and box office figures.
I think that's the magic of any part - unravelling the mystery of what kind of person your guy is based on the words he says and the actions that he does.
Your whole life doesn't have to be one long, smart monologue.
I am really tired of playing characters who don't care about people.
I would love to work with anybody who has a good story to tell - Patrick Graham, Vikramaditya Motwane, Anurag Kashyap, Neeraj Ghaywan, Coen Brothers, Wes Anderson. I don't know why I was not considered for that Indian guy's part in 'The Grand Budapest Hotel.'
Acting is acting, regardless of the medium.
If I was lying on the side of the mountain, dying, would I have any regrets? Yeah. I would regret not making films.
