Quote

I'm not really involved with politics... I'm living in my cocoon with my classical music around.

I enjoy politics, but if I had a third career - and I've had multiple careers - my third act would be acting.

I'm not sure I had a political career for the future anyway. I'm not sure that politics was what I wanted to spend my life doing.

I felt that politics was one place where I could possibly have a career in arguing, debating, and getting to write papers. I almost considered working in law enforcement or something like that, but that didn't really last long.

I mean if politics was my main motivation I would be doing politics. But I'm a filmmaker.

I stay out of politics because if I begin thinking too much about politics, I'll probably... drop writing children's books and become a political cartoonist again.

I knew early on that I would do politics, but I would never make a living at it. I would do something else.

I mean, the last thing I want to do is be involved in politics.

You can't talk about life without talking about politics. You have to have both. If you're just a political person, you're going to burn out. If you, as an artist, are just focused inward, you're going to eventually be irrelevant.

Life itself has so much politics, why should I make it my profession? I'm just a politician's son, not a politician myself. Two politicians, that's my dad and elder brother, in the family are enough. I'm happy doing my own stuff in Bollywood.
