Women do come up to me after a show, but it's usually to say, 'Yhank you for making us laugh,' and all that.

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.

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.

I love the food, the girls, the sky and everything that is Delhi. I have very fond memories of the Moolchand flyover.

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.

I am a big fan of Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller, who have carved a niche for themselves. I think doing different kind of films gives you longevity and the ability to set yourself apart.

Someday social media might, hopefully in some small measure, wake up to the fact that other people's failures are not your successes.

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.

I fear debt. I don't like being indebted to banks. I have a rule in life that I will get it when I can afford it.

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

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.

I feel like I share a great relationship with my audience where they trust my judgment and choice of films and sense of comedy.

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.
