I think there are just bad films and good films. Period.
— Vivek Oberoi
I've had the privilege to work with fantastic directors - Ram Gopal Varma, Mani Ratnam, Inder Kumar, to name a few.
For me, quality of role is important, and if a role excites me, I do it.
Mothers can do anything. They have ways of finding out if you have eaten or not.
I think it is important to be fearless in life. I have always made fearless choices. Some have worked; the others haven't.
I hold the record for the maximum number of obituaries written for an actor's career.
I can do very dramatic films, and at the same time, I can do a very meaningless movie, too, if I feel my role is good.
We have become so used to complaining about the state of our country that we have forgotten what it is to celebrate India, to celebrate what India stands for.
I don't believe in the concept of stardom.
The day my film 'Dum' released, it was available on pirated DVDs and VCDs. They showed the movie on cable channels. It was pathetic. It was so frustrating.
I am a happy-go-lucky guy in real life. I like to chat a lot.
Antara Mali is a fine performer. Her role in 'Road' is in complete contrast to that in 'Company.'
I don't think 'Road' is an experimental film.
If you love a person truly, you can make an ordinary day very special for her.
All I can say is I am lucky I have never had any misunderstandings with my co-stars.
Hits and flops will always be there for any actor.
Thanks to the wonderful support system provided by my father, I was never insecure about my future.
I am bad at numbers and math. Always was!
Acting is a state of being, and the camera can tell instantly if you're lying. But there are many different ways to approach that state of being. Each director has his own approach to the situation, and that's really interesting.
I am not interested to do a five-minute role in a film which is not exciting to me.
My first film was Ram Gopal Varma's 'Company.' I was paid Rs 3 lakhs for it.
People will try to pull you down, but you need to fight the negativity in your life. It's always good to stay positive and think positive.
I don't believe in competing with other actors. I believe the only person you can compete is with yourself. You can only do better work compared to your earlier work.
I am a hungry actor, and I want to do good films.
I like people, and I like to be around people. They are fascinating. I like to behave like a common man. I am a common man.
I am not interested in being a star.
If you do not try, you will never succeed. So try and try until you do.
On the sets, I am usually positive, open, and happy. I talk to co-stars, I interact with people on the sets, and I chill.
In 'Road,' my character is linear and uni-dimensional. It was more of a reacting character. I am a foil to the other characters in the film. It is the most normal character in the most abnormal, extraordinary film.
If Bollywood had its temple, then Amitabh Bachchan's idol would be in it.
If you love someone truly, just look into her eyes. You will find your soul in her.
I believe in one principle: Do your work and leave the rest to God.
I concentrate on acting while my dad handles the business side of my career.
All I did was make the best of the opportunity that I got in 'Company.'
Antonia Bernath is a sensational actress, a really, really fantastic girl.
I have always been a huge fan of the Spider-Man comics and films.
I am not crazy about doing Hollywood films.
I am not a flirt.
Life is all about being positive and celebrating what you have in the moment.
I believe it is tough to be funny and tougher to make people laugh. And it needs to be been done effortlessly. A joke can be comedy, but one can kill the joke if it is delivered badly.
If the world is the body, India is its soul.
I have always loved travelling in autorickshaws.
Everyone in Bollywood must unite to fight piracy.
I am not saying 'Dum' flopped only because of piracy. But the money which went to the offenders could have gone to the producers of the film.
I am really happy and ecstatic that 'Grand Masti' has been such a huge success.
It takes someone like Ram Gopal Varma to change the norms, bend the rules, shake convention, and come up with something like 'Road.'
If you go to see a film with a woman you love, then even if the film is bad, you can hold hands and laugh at it.
There is less plastic in Tupperware factory than our film industry. People with plastic smile and plastic heart.
'Masti' did so well. It was unexpected and clicked very well with masses.
I'm very secure in my life.
