Chennai is one of the scariest crowds to face. Everyone looks so conservative, but once you crack the first joke, they are so appreciatively loud that they will hit you with a laugh that will scare you stiff and yet give you energy. Chennaiites give me the loudest laughs it's the coolest crowd to perform for.

I have a rule - 'funny is funny!' When I write comedy, it's not my aim to upset people. I will be offensive, edgy and immature, but I will also be very intelligent and relevant. At my shows, there are no holy cows.

To me, the trick is not how can I make people laugh. It is, how can I make people laugh in a different way.

Whatever movies I sign, they have to get me out of my comfort zone. Otherwise, I would get bored very easily.

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.

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.

Comedy is a live art, and the only way to record a comedy rock album is to do it live. The audience and their laughter is just as much a part of the album sound as our music. No retakes, no room for error.

Delhi women - they're the most beautiful women! But the fact remains that they know they are gorgeous.

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.

My personal favorite is Woody Allen, who is just amazing as a comedian.

I did theatre in the U.S. because there, content-wise, it's very light. In India, theatre tends to get preachy.

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.
