Kay Kay Menon

I don't analyze after I've done a film. So I have no dream role.

I get paid to act. I've never acted free for anybody and I'd rather be rewarded than awarded.

It's difficult to explain in words, but I enjoy doing films more than theatre. It helps me in experiencing moments of truth and I can write an entire thesis on my love for the medium!

In my case, I'm in touch with God in good times and bad. I don't use God as a means of favour. And I can't do business with him - the very thought is bizarre.

I like to promote my work. I do the promotion for my work because that is required. Apart from that I just don't know how to promote myself, to be honest, I think my work ideally should speak for itself.

People assume that displaying your own personal ego on screen is called acting, which is actually not what acting is about.

I have expertise of performing, not promoting.

Every film is made for a commercial purpose - to earn money at the box-office.

I don't play roles, I play characters. There is a vast difference between the two.

I keep an open mind when a script is narrated to me.

If you don't have integrity, don't be in cinema.

I wanted to be an actor since I was just nine-years-old.

Art, I've always believed, is more real than life.

An actor should not bother about the camera per se, and what kind it is.

Be honest and accept it if you do not have talent. And if you do, hone your skills.

When I see good films not doing well, irrespective of my role being appreciated or not, I have a problem because then the producer who has made a loss will never believe in investing in good cinema.

I believe man is stripped naked when he's in conversation with God. Your deepest fears, strongest desires, highest hopes - they're all there when you are talking to God.

I am happy with the roles I play.

I am born and brought up in Maharashtra so for me, Marathi is an often heard language.

A simple love story can be made into an interesting film if the film-maker can think differently.
