Quotations

I don't watch my own films.I don't enjoy watching films.I don't like songs and dances.I don't think we make good films I have not done a film which has been truly memorable.I don't plan, I just follow the heart. Films are my bread and butter. They have helped me gain money and fame.I don't feel insecure if I don't sign many films.

I have been in the industry for 30 years. Initially, I looked for perfection in everything but that does not happen. If you are looking for satisfaction here, it is not on.

I know of a place in India where people have not heard of Amitabh Bachchan|Amitabh Bachchan.

Bachchan is perhaps India's biggest acting star.

I am shy by nature. I don't like addressing the media. I am meeting the Press after seven-eight years in Delhi. It does not matter to me if the producers or directors promote the hero or the heroine. Ultimately, people judge you by your work Category:Actors|Denzongpa, Danny
