I've played real people before, but I never knew them.
We continue to focus on actually solving problems that real people have and not being distracted by what power users want.
I was on the lookout for something different, as I was exhausted with the fiction space. When I was asked to host 'Tujhse Naaraz Nahin Zindagi,' it was not as an actor but as an individual, and on being explained the concept, I found it interesting and accepted it since it was about real people and real life.
I love storytelling. I love characters that are complicated and layered, real people, that you see why they do what they do.
I think about a Richard Avedon photo series, the kind of faces he gets of real people, which I find so captivating. Fellini was also great in filling his films with this ambiance, this environment, sometimes chaotic and carnival-like, but people's faces were always amazing.
When you're famous, you don't get to meet people because they want you to like them when the present themselves to you, and you don't see the real people.
Theater is a space where you cross over from everyday life, because there are real people in that moment moving in front of you - you're being invited to believe in a story and cross that bridge.
People have said, 'You don't need to do any more biopics. You don't need to play any more real people.' I don't agree with that.
What bothers me the most are the Republicans and the Democrats: they act like little kids. They are lying to real people out here trying to get through life.
I've always known and been interested in people who are a little bit off the norm. I like to call attention to the idea that they are there, that they are real people, not invisible.
