Sáhruh Khán idézet

“Success makes people - people not related to you or to your field - like to take a dig at you.”

“I am where I never thought I would be. I got much more than what I had expected. I am strong believer in God, hard work and honesty.”

“That if you want to be famous, you take your dad's name. And I said the only persons I don't want to be famous by taking my name are [Aryan, his son] and [Suhana, his daughter]. Let the rest of the world do that.”

“I've been there, done it all. I'm very clear about my priorities as an entertainer. I want the audience to feel good when they watch me. That's what I'm paid for. Why should I sell anything else?”

“I am happy making the films I make and I would like the West to be impressed with what we do from India.”

“I don't think I've achieved superstardom. One has to achieve much more. My next level is the next shot I do. When I see some of my shots, I wonder why I did them so badly. Audiences and critics don't know about these shots. But I know. These moments remain very personal.”

“After all, what is a film? It is selling of a dream. We have to tell lies to people, we have to sell them dreams.”

“I am popular for all that I’ve done on the screen. That is why I’m never ashamed of what I’ve done in front of the camera, nor am I extra-proud of what I’ve done.”

“It is so strange - if anyone takes my name, I have the ability to make them famous.”

“My films do well only because they are good, not because of me.”

“Like beauty, stardom too is skin-deep.”

“I never yell at kids. I just hug them hard and threaten them not to do something again. I would never be aggressive with a woman or a little child. I would rather die before I raise hand on a little kid or a lady.”

“If you get bored with the person you married for love, there's something wrong with you - not with that person.”

“Successful people do things, and get over with it, and leave others to live their life off it. I DO them. And then I leave it to others to live their life off it.”

“The audience's preferences for films are in black and white. They either like a film or they don't.”

“It makes it easier to get happiness. I do believe in a material world to a certain extent. I think material happiness is quite an important step before you look for spiritual happiness. There are people who think the other way round. They might also be right. But in the kind of education and the world where I have grown up, and we all are growing up, a certain level of consumerism become a reality. (as an answer to the question: Do you think that money can buy happiness?)”

“I've become a free-for-all brand. I hope they come out with a rule that they can't use a person's name without paying him for it!”

“If I'm ever asked to do something in the national interest, do a project of national relevance, it's not as if I will not charge for it, but I will ensure that what I give back is not just worth that money, but is a little more than that.”

“I am not insecure enough to count the bouquets I receive on my birthday, I don’t assess my popularity by the number of magazine covers I am on, I don’t get worried if my song is on the seventh position on countdown charts.”

“Hero is a misnomer. India is the only place left in the world where we call our stars heroes and heroines.”

I don’t know whether the film we’ve made is commercial or not, whether it’s good or not, but I do know that we’ve made it honestly and that we've enjoyed making it. I just hope it has turned out to be the film we had set out to make.”

“I am the same old actor. When people question me I really look back and think but I feel people love characters like Rahul or Raj because they are different. Every role is different and I am not reinventing myself as an actor.”

“As long as the women I’m romancing are happy with me doing it then I’ll carry on.”

“It has varied. I don’t know if it’s good or bad but a dear friend of mine Aziz (Mirza) asked me not to do Don. I was also told to cut my hair and to change my name because someone said that there couldn’t be a movie star by the name of Shah Rukh Khan. (when asked the worst piece of professional advice that someone has given him)”

“I don’t normally comment about my own films. But my judgment of films is excellent, it is better than yours.”
