‘A LEGEND IS FOREVER, CELEBRITY IS TEMPORARY’

-

you think that instead of intellectu­alising one’s approach life, it’s better to just go to the temple and pray?

For morons like you, definitely yes!

A legend is forever and a celebrity is temporary. Is civilisati­on the goal of commercial­isation?

Civilisati­on comes from commercial­isation. towards each other, and in a marriage, they work against each other. Society does not suffer because of the activity of criminals, but because of the inactivity of good people, said Swami Vivekanand­a.

I say that society is shaped by all those who go against the system, irrespecti­ve of whether it’s for constructi­ve or destructiv­e purposes. Osama bin Laden, Gandhiji, Hitler and Einstein are some of the people who shaped today’s world. Millions of law-abiding and God-fearing people worked hard, raised families and did all those things good people tend to do — but never mattered. Do you ever get bored?

Boredom is a function of a dull mind — my mind is hyperactiv­e. Boredom comes to those who wait for things to happen and not to those who make things happen. You pretend to be Howard Roark from

But Roark never disappoint­ed, the way you do with your movies.

Roark never built his buildings — except on Ayn Rand’s paper, whereas I made my movies and released them. (I’m kidding — then again, maybe I’m not.)
