I always think it's hard for any young actor to make that transition to more grown-up roles. Because you don't want to alienate your audience who has been supportive of you for so many years, so you kind of have to tiptoe through that process.

Becoming an actor is like becoming a father. It's not hard to become one. Making a life of it is the challenge.

I was very young when I became an actor: I was 19 years old.

One of the tough things about being an actor, probably the hardest thing, is getting your foot in the door, and my father handled that for me at a very early age.

Since first starting my career, I've grown accustomed to working with actors older than me. I'm always the youngest.

I would hate to be 65 and think, 'What if I had tried to be an actor?'

I thought people would think I only wanted to be an actor because my dad was, rather than because I had an innate calling.

While I did not get any formal training in acting, every summer vacation, from the age of five, my father would take me to Ooty with him, and I would do films as a child star. I did over 10 films like that, and it was understood that post finishing my education, I would become an actor.

I've wanted to be an actor ever since I was a little boy.

I was still thought of as a kid actor even though I was in my mid twenties.
