every important decision of mine
all the people who are important to me and who are close to me
have always told me
You are making a mistake don't do this.
Everyone who i knew and who even cared for me
always told me that i think you are making a mistake
You know all through my career, I've been told that
He is not going to last for more than a year
Because of the kind of - he has picked very unusual films
i'd worked in a very unusual way
and everyone through that this guy is nuts.
If I am clear about what i want to do and i am honest about it
and i am sincere about it
and the reasons why i am doing it is clear to me
Then I must follow my instinct
I've always believed in following my dreams
I don't want to compromise with what i want to do
what is my dream
I don't mind compromising to achieve my dream
But I don't want to compromise the dream itself.
See today I am successful, I may not have been successful but
I am happy that I lived on my terms
And i am happy that i never compromised whenever i was offered something i was not happy with I didn't do it even if I have to go wrong tomorrow I would rather go wrong on my instincts
I don't want to go wrong on somebody else's advice
If i have taken a wrong step, I can deal with it.
It will be a learning experience for me.
I've learnt the maximum from my failures
My failures have taught me the most and so i really value my failures
Whatever i am today is not only because of my success but also because of my failures
I went through a period which was professionally my toughest period
Where my films had started flopping one after other
I knew that my coming next 3-4 films are also not going to do very well
and at that time i would face similar challenges
That i want to do something and i was unable to because people wouldn't listen to me or they didn't have faith in me, they didn't trust me
I used to cry at night because i was so unhappy with the work i was doing I swore to myself, I said
My career is going down, my films are not doing well The coming films are also not going to do well
But i swear, I will never take on a film ever in my life Until i am happy with it
Until i am happy from inside I will not say yes to a film.
It was like I was in quicksand and i was sinking
at that time, if i had compromised
For the rest of my life I would have been compromising
You get tested when you are at your worst
When i am successful, I am not tested yet
it is when you are not successful, when you are up against the wall
When the stakes are against you
That is when you tested. At that time do you break?
Do you say - No I have to be safe
A lot of us think that atleast some money will come
We think of these compromises
Never compromise with what you believe in and what makes you happy. Never !
At my worse if i did not compromise, then i will never compromise and i think each one of us, finds our own path
what drive me ? In my heart, I am so excited about what i am doing
So happy about what i am doing, that's what drives me but, I am also doing stuff that excites me and makes me happy If i am doing stuff that i am not happy doing
Then, when i wake up in the morning, I will be like "Ohh no! I have to go to work" and not be excited
So, if you are doing what you enjoy and what makes you happy
You will be driven, you will be passionate, you will give it your all.
