Leander Paes

Age is just a number. When I started, I never worried about how long I was going to play. I had very specific goals, and that's what I really chased.

If I have a reason to do something, and I have enough passion, I generally succeed.

When the headache persisted, I checked myself into an emergency room. When the doctor used the term 'brain tumour', I feared the worst. My whole world shrank around me.

I think for any actor, for the roles they deeply, truly want? They always have to audition for them.

I love Hindi films.

If you're going to go to an audition, you don't want to go in trying to force yourself into some archetype that has been thought up by a director and translated by a casting director.
