Worrying about how you'll be remembered is pointless. Better to try to live your life in such a way that people will respect you while you're still alive.

I would like to be forgotten. What's so good about being remembered?

Just to be remembered is good enough for me. Lots of people are forgotten.

I think a lot of people want to be remembered the way they were, as opposed to the way they are now.

We only live once, and how would you want to be remembered? I have kids. I have, due to my job, a probably higher responsibility to do good things in my life. But also, since I was a kid, I love doing things out of context, helping friends, being different, being a special kind of man is important for me.

I don't have any sentimental notion about how people are going to remember me.

People think being remembered most for one character is a negative thing, but I don't. I never expected to be remembered for anything!

I don't think I've done any profound work yet... People ask me, 'How would you want to be remembered?' I tell them I don't want to be remembered! I'm not here to become a Madhubala or receive a Lifetime Achievement Award. I'm not that kind of a person. And I'm not brash about it; it's just the way I am.

If you want to live a memorable life, you have to be the kind of person who remembers to remember.
