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

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.

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