Tamil Actor R. Madhavan quotes
# “I have always broken the rules. People told me television actors can’t become film-stars, but I did. People told me Tamil stars can’t do Hindi films, but I did. Now you are telling me that film-stars don’t become successful anchors so let’s see…I am sure I’ll prove that wrong as well.”# “I do surf the net a lot and love to play golf. What I like the most is spending most of the time with my family.”
# “I want to play a man in uniform. Because I have been a part of the NCC and even won the All-India Best Cadet award.”
# “I’ve that e-mail which I’ll keep till the end of time. I’ve always been a big fan of Mr Narayana Murthy. He’s certainly one of my idols. I still remember his interview with Bill Gates where he had said, ‘The real power of money is the power to give it away’. I’ll never forget that line,” [About infosys Narayana Murthy]
# “I enjoy flying remote control helicopters!”
# “I just want to do good work. I don’t mind even if the film happens to be in Japanese. I can’t see any difference between how the south works and how the Hindi film industry does.”
# “In the last four-five years I have got so much goodwill and love from the people in whatever roles I have essayed. I am probably the only guy to have done such varied roles in serials which are popular.”
# “I did whatever I did with my heart. And I really enjoyed what I did. The fact that I may not make it really big in the industry or the fact that south guys don’t make it doesn’t really figure in my life plan at all.”
# ” I would love to work with Kamal Haasan . That’s been an ultimate fantasy. I never thought I would work with Mani Ratnam, but I have come close.” [About Kamal Haasan & Mani Ratnam]
