I am extremely malleable as an actor, but I also know how to get away with doing things the way I want, even if the director disagrees.
— Rishi Kapoor
I do fun things on Twitter. I enjoy it.
I don't think it is wrong when you - when an actor goes and sells his film. I mean, it's salesmanship; you got to tell the world what you have. You got to tell them, 'These are my wares; please see how do you like them. If you like to buy them, please buy them.' There's nothing wrong in that.
I am an actor, and actors should be willing to play all kind of roles.
I am high-strung and high-energy. My blood pressure is always high, and I am always excited to go to work.
All my life, I struggled to get roles.
I have never really hit a gym.
Since I am as evil as can be, I do need religion to offset my evilness!
There's no formula that can make a marriage work. Sometimes two people just click.
I know for a fact that many people repent and want to do away with their tattoos. It is all marketing and hype and nothing else. Also, tattoos stand out on fair and not wheatish complexion. God has given you a body. Why spoil it?
I don't want to play father roles. And I use father roles figuratively for roles that are just hanging around... don't want to be a piece of furniture in films.
I firmly believe in destiny, so let's see what my luck has in store for me.
I have worked with Asin earlier in 'Housefull 2.' We had a good time working together.
Some films will work, some won't.
He is absolutely on his own, and we never interfere in any of his decisions. When Ranbir joined the industry, he told his mother that he wanted to portray characters which a boy of his age would do in real life.
Any cinema has to be entertaining. Boring cinema won't work. If you want to make one, then screen it for free on TV.
There would be no 'Sholay' without Dharmendra, no 'Amar Akbar Anthony' without Vinod Khanna and Rishi Kapoor, no 'Deewar' without Shashi Kapoor, and no 'Dostana' without Shatrughan Sinha.
I am spontaneous and not a method actor.
I have campaigned only once in the elections, for Vinod Khanna in Gurdaspur, but that was not as a party member but because he is a colleague.
I can never say that I don't want to work anymore. That would be an absolute lie because I enjoy, I take delight in, working in films because I feel it's an honour, you know, to entertain people, to regale audiences.
I really want that there should be love and respect between me and Ranbir, but at the same time, I want that there should be some kind of distance - that I can see you, but I can't feel you.
I have always been an arrogant man.
Generally, when I am working, I tend to learn from my seniors and juniors.
Being religious and spiritual makes me feel good.
In our country, there must be two time zones to save working hours. Why we don't have it, I have been talking about this issue for a long time.
I neither throw my weight around nor do I bully anyone on the set.
No, there is no 'need' for me to do a social cinema.
I would love to do a Punjabi film.
I am not because of my father, and my son Ranbir Kapoor is not because of me.
What I admire about Ranbir is his choice of films. Sometimes he will be bad; sometimes he will be good.
No actor has 100 percent track record.
Ranbir doesn't like to portray characters which are larger than life. I am very proud that he took such challenges.
Though sometimes you hit, sometimes you don't get the kind of roles you should get, but sometimes you get the role.
Amitabh Bachchan is the greatest actor that we have in the country.
I block the trolls.
I am not a spokesperson for any political person or party.
I get very excited when I have to work in a film and when I am narrated.
I never argued with my father, and it so happened that, unfortunately, the same kind of relationship passed on with me and Ranbir.
I like to be respected as an actor.
All my performances have been unrehearsed.
I am a believer of all religions. I will happily visit a temple, mosque, church. I do not differentiate between religions.
Trust me; I have not exactly been the best husband material.
I love to experiment, to push myself, and I want people to accept me in roles that I have never attempted before.
Both my kids are above 30 now... grown up enough to take their own decisions.
It's always such a delight working with Juhi.
I came into films when there was action. When I retired, it was romantic period.
The fire within you as an actor should always keep burning. That should be the mantra for any good actor.
I always wanted to be an actor.
If you want to show cinema, make entertainment films. Sometimes they are very good, sometimes very bad, but the intention is always to make entertaining films.
An actor's journey is never fulfilled. We always look for greener pastures, better roles, better creativity. We all want to do good work.
