Some people become so immersed an a show, they have an image that the actor is not too dissimilar, but fortunately I've never had that experience.

A lot of actors get concerned about their own image, even going so far as to rewrite a movie to best serve that image. All I want to do is be in good movies.

In England or America, actors do not have to cater to an image. In India, it is almost demanded of us. Very seldom do you get a film where you can walk away from your image.

Actors are able to trick themselves into treating anything as if it's fantastic. It's a kind of madness really.

I don't think an actor ever wants to establish an image. That certainly hurt me, and yet that is also what made me successful and eventually able to do more challenging roles.

I can see it in even great actors' performances, when they're phoning it in.

While it's easy to sit back and cherry pick bad visual effects and blame the industry for making movies the way they are, you're really not seeing the whole picture.

I'm constantly trying to find something that's different from me, whereas some actors do the same thing, again and again. That's not for me.

What I find sometimes that is tricky is if actors are using too much of their own life in a picture, in a scene, they get locked into a particular way to play the scene, and it lacks an immediacy.
