Well, you've got certain obstacles that get in your way throughout your career, but you have to be a strong individual.

Comparison is a disease. I never felt any competition, since I never compared myself to others. I only focus on my work. I never feel pressurised and do films in my style. Also, I'm very active since childhood, and that gives me the edge to always put my best.

I choose to be inspired by things that have been done well in the past. So, I don't worry about being compared, because I think that does paralyze you.

When someone becomes successful or rich and famous, people perceive that person as being different. But I'm the same guy I've always been.

I have a confidence about my life that comes from standing tall on my own two feet.

The fact is that I made a stand a number of times in my career, and I did it because I knew I was right.

I've lived my career backwards - I started off huge and I've got smaller and more personal, and I'm much more comfortable now.

I have never tried to compare myself to anyone else.

I certainly don't disparage someone whose attitude towards their work is utterly different from mine - that's up to them.

I have met many people, and everyone's impression of me is based on my career.
