Your life moves in patterns toward things, and things that we achieve finally are part of this mosaic. I just think that we create our own fate.
If I had to think where I could live if not Moscow, London would be my first choice and second would be New York.
I live on a plane. I like to visit London. If I had to think where I could live if not Moscow, London would be my first choice, and second would be New York. In Moscow I feel most comfortable. I'm used to four different seasons; it's difficult for people in London to understand. People brought up in Russia like my kids want to play in the snow.
If you think you're too small to have an impact, try going to bed with a mosquito.
If you don't think a small act can make a difference, try going to sleep with a mosquito in the room.
I think dogs are the most amazing creatures; they give unconditional love. For me, they are the role model for being alive.
I think the most beautiful thing is that we're not parting because there were problems. We're parting because we're celebrating each others' growth.
I decided very early that I wanted to write. But I didn't think of it as a career. I didn't even think of it as a profession... It was the most exciting thing, the most powerful thing, the most wonderful thing to do with my life.
Doug Motel makes 'conscious comedy'. He makes me laugh, and he makes me think.
You cannot put a contaminant in the ground and just think that Mother Nature whips it up and runs it off somewhere else and we never see it again.
I think English is a fantastic, rich and musical language, but of course your mother tongue is the most important for an actor.
I think in my mother tongue. That's Hindi.
For us Indians, I don't think English can ever exude that magic of emotions which our mother tongue can.
When I hit the scene, there was Billy Connolly and Max Boyce. It was all mother-in-law and Irish jokes, and we broke the mould. Now there are thousands of comedians out there, and I don't think I can be above it all.
I don't think anybody cares about unwed mothers unless they're black or poor. The question is not morality, the question is money. That's what we're upset about.
The tradition of the South is not urban... I think we are a region of storytellers, naturally, just from our tribal instincts. We did not have the pleasures of the theater or the dance, motion pictures when they came along. We simply entertain each other by talking.
There are certain things that can be asked that get me excited. It's never a thing where I think I'm too good, I'm just the type of person who likes to be enlightened. I don't like to go through the motions.
If anything, you know, I think losing makes me even more motivated.
I think envy motivates a lot of people.
I think that's a part of what motivates me in my teaching and writing. Once the Gospel feels mainstream and becomes a nicely organized, orchestrated belief system, frankly, I don't think there is even an attraction to the human spirit.
