- (December 2000, about his son Hrithik Roshan): I can understand girls, boys, women and men being his fans, but when one-and-a-half and two-year- old children say 'Hrithik' it bewilders me -- how can they decide they like this person called Hrithik at a time when the only thing they can say is 'mama' and 'papa'?
- (About Hrithik Roshan): Hrithik's way of working is the only way to make sure the industry moves ahead. He is fiercely focused and forces others around him to be the same.
- [February 2013 - reflecting on his amazing 40-year journey as a successful actor, producer, & director] As an actor, I always felt I could do better but I wasn't getting good roles. [So you cut short an acting career and turned to producing films?] Eventually it's the producer that matters the most in the scheme of things, so slowly I switched over to producing ... it was then that I realized that it is the director who holds the key to the film!
