More quotes by Vir Das
I auditioned nine times for 'Delhi Belly,' and it was torturous!
Vir Das
In Bollywood, I think Boman Irani and Vinay Pathak are unbelievably good at comedy.
Vir Das
I feel like I share a great relationship with my audience where they trust my judgment and choice of films and sense of comedy.
Vir Das
I've been reading a lot of books on history, and watching a lot of educational TV. Wikipedia too, even though it is not reliable.
Vir Das
You realise the responsibility of carrying a film on your shoulders when people are investing money in you and they recognise the hard work you have to put in.
Vir Das
Surround yourself with a bunch of like-minded people, and you'll soak up their habits like a starved sponge. Fat people with fat friends care less about their weight.
Vir Das
A stand-up comedian will never be the life of a party. Instead, he will be the guy who is standing at a corner and observing people.
Vir Das
Class I to XII wasn't much help I was always a mediocre student. But when I pursued higher education and studied economics with theatre or psychology with science fiction, I got a whole new world view.
Vir Das
To me, the trick is not how can I make people laugh. It is, how can I make people laugh in a different way.
Vir Das
I am edgy, raw, offensive, vulgar, untruthful, but intelligent. My jokes are always realistic. I do not make fun of children or people who cannot fight back. That is my limitation.
Vir Das
My personal favorite is Woody Allen, who is just amazing as a comedian.
Vir Das
In Bollywood, people struggle because there is a new person joining every week, who joins an assembly line of people who are very replaceable. But if you are unique, you don't have to struggle that much.
Vir Das
Women do come up to me after a show, but it's usually to say, 'Yhank you for making us laugh,' and all that.
Vir Das
In 'Delhi Belly,' I was bald in other movies I always carried a different look.
Vir Das
Relationship humour gets the most laughs. If I'm able to get the women laughing, men will have to laugh along because they would be scared to death.
Vir Das
When it comes to English stand-up comedy, Indians have only seen the best - Jerry Seinfeld, Bill Cosby and the like. So, when someone claims to be an English stand-up comedian in India, he'd better be very good if he's going to make a life of it.
Vir Das
For me,it is very important to believe in the kind of movies I do. Rang De Basanti made me feel good about Indian cinema. The movie instilled in me,a confidence so strong,that I wanted to be a part of the revolution in Bollywood.
Vir Das
Whatever movies I sign, they have to get me out of my comfort zone. Otherwise, I would get bored very easily.
Vir Das
All of the films I'm doing are young, urban, high-concept, funny films. That's the zone where I'd like to play and have fun in.
Vir Das
In a big Bollywood romantic film, taking my shirt off and spreading the hand towards the mountain with dancers behind me are not my cup of tea.
