Zarin Mehta

My paternal grandfather Rustom Mehta had a huge influence on me because of his ethics and his values.

Too many people dwell on the past: the thing is to get on with life.

I grew up with music very much in my life. I achieved success by combining my training as an accountant with my family upbringing and love of music.

The blessing that this film business has given me is that when I walk into a school I automatically have everyone's attention. They want to hear what the guy from 'Con Air' and 'Desperado' has to say.

I'd date someone younger or older; age doesn't matter to me. Or looks, really - it's all about maturity.

I see a lot of actors for whom life becomes one big schedule. I guess I try to be more sensitive to my private life - to take a breath of fresh air and be in the countryside or on a golf course.
