Boman Irani Quotations

For me, a director is a director immaterial of the gender. At the end of the day, the audience is only interested in watching a good film.

No affairs for me. It is so wonderful to have a family to come home to, to sit with them, pull each other's legs... To lose all of that for what? Who's got the time? I'm having great fun working.

The moment you say, 'I want to do a role,' the story suffers. I don't set priorities in terms of roles or scripts.

I'm not a hero or a superstar. I'm an everyday guy. I feel happy when children approach me. I feel that something good is happening in life when little kids recognise me.

I get scared when I think I'm going to miss my flight. I get obsessed when I actually miss a flight.

I usually go with roles that I find entertaining. But every once in a while, there comes along a film that has an important social message. As actors, we have a certain responsibility toward our audience.

The day we learn to allow an ambulance to pass through in traffic, might be the first step towards being a truly responsible society.

I was overjoyed when I was offered the title role in 'Well Done Abba.' I was ready for the role even before I heard the story because you don't ask questions when it is Shyam Benegal's film. It is the chance of a lifetime.

I'm an actor, and I don't look at myself as providing comic relief. I have done diverse and dark roles such as a psycho, murderer, and others in films such as 'Don', 'Eklavya' and '3 Idiots.'

I just love to work and spend time with my family. And that's the reason I don't look at the length of the role, but what it has to offer me.
