Jackie Chan is so international. Everywhere you go, people know who he is. I hope I can be like that one day too - to be an actor that represents Asia to the world.
I would die if Woody Allen ever called and said, 'Emma, I have a role for you.'
Everyone abroad knows me because of the songs 'Jimmy Jimmy Aaja Aaja' and 'I Am A Disco Dancer,' both from 'Disco Dancer.'
I achieved big-time stardom with 'Farz.'
I think the film you hear about the most is 'The Exorcist.' When people come up to me and say, 'Oh, you scared me!' I was the good guy in that film!
Everybody I run into goes, 'Hey, 'Best in Show!'' Or, 'Hey, that dog movie!' which I don't mind because I'm not too good on titles.
I owe all the name and fame I have earned to regional cinema.
Being a part of memorable movies has always been the goal.
It was I who made Fellini famous, not the other way around.
Theater actors are just tolerated. You have to be a movie star to be a celebrity.
I was overjoyed when I was offered the title role in 'Well Done Abba.' I was ready for the role even before I heard the story because you don't ask questions when it is Shyam Benegal's film. It is the chance of a lifetime.
Aradhana' was a very big hit while 'Avishkaar' is a cult film.
Jack Palance was my distant uncle - that's the family gossip. Growing up, my family knew everything about his face getting burned and scarred in the military and how that mutilation led him to become such a famous 'heavy' in films. I prayed for good scars of my own. Not just acne scars.
'Sugar Cane Alley' had a lot of international success, big success everywhere.
Thanks to 'A Prophet,' I'm known in a lot of countries.
