I don’t think I have any set image, and I don’t want one. If I think I’m getting a particular image, I try and break it. I find it very important to keep the audience guessing and keep them on their toes. – Ranveer Singh
I must say, I was a very filmy kid. I used to watch a lot of TV and get very influenced by Bollywood. – Ranveer Singh
When I was launched in 2010, people told me that I wasn’t the best looking guy, so I would have to act really well. I am aware that I am not conventionally good looking. I have heard it so many times that I have started believing it. – Ranveer Singh
I’m a very serious guy. I try to counter that predisposition of being a serious person with all this tomfoolery that I love to do so much. I really enjoy it; that’s why I do it. I don’t like the way I am… perhaps my natural default is to be that way, and I don’t like that. – Ranveer Singh
Let me put it this way: if I am the leading man of the film, and the film-maker is asking me to support him in a certain aspect so as not to burden the budget of the film, I will do whatever I can to support his vision. – Ranveer Singh
Every problem seems like a mountain to me, and when I’m fit, I feel like I can conquer anything. When the opposite happens, I go into a funk. A real, real funk. – Ranveer Singh
Someday, I plan to buy a house in Goa, do only one movie a year, and spend the rest of time painting, learning how to cook, cooking for friends, and doing yoga. – Ranveer Singh
I treat all women with the utmost respect both professionally and personally and would never do anything to disrespect them. – Ranveer Singh
I don’t do anything just for the sake of it. I don’t live my life for the sake of it. – Ranveer Singh
I’m a happy person. Sometimes, I have to make a conscious effort to stay happy. See, my predispositions are – as opposed to what you see – I’m actually quite a sensitive person, very empathetic, very emotional… Very impulsive. – Ranveer Singh
I am usually a fun-loving person, and I say most of the things in a jest. Sometimes I get in trouble, but over a period of time, I think people now realise that most of the things I say are in jest. – Ranveer Singh
I always wanted to be an actor ever since I was a little kid. I knew that I had to do something related to performing arts, and I enjoyed acting the most as it incorporated so many different art forms. – Ranveer Singh
Ever since I was a little kid, the only thing that fascinated me, excited me, and engaged me was Hindi films. I didn’t know anything beyond Hindi films. I was a ‘filmi bachcha.’ – Ranveer Singh
I just stick to my job, which is acting. Things like posters, publicity material, and promotions are entirely the film-maker’s prerogative. I don’t get into all of that. – Ranveer Singh
After becoming famous, I’ve realised how overrated fame is. It gets in the way of normal life. – Ranveer Singh
Everyone has a mobile phone with a camera; every phone can record video. You have to be prepared to be captured. It’s very easy to be misconstrued and presented in ways that you wouldn’t prefer. If I take a selfie with bags under my eyes, it becomes a hashtag. – Ranveer Singh
My ambition was always to bag a lead role in a film, and hence, I refrained from doing any ads, TV serials, music videos, as I felt that a fresh face always works much better. It was a gamble, and I took that gamble telling myself that I will give it my all to bag a lead role. – Ranveer Singh
I really enjoy doing cameos. It is just a day’s work, and you get to play a new character. – Ranveer Singh
I debuted in Bollywood without inhibitions, and I don’t want to develop any fears now. Nothing is more detrimental to an actor than the lack of total surrender. – Ranveer Singh
I was never hungry for this kind of attention; it was the love of performing that got me interested in acting. – Ranveer Singh
I like to be present; I like to be in the now. The way life has shaped up, it is difficult, you know, with mobile phones taking you to another time and space all the time. So it’s always a battle to stay in the moment. But according to me, it’s a better way to be. – Ranveer Singh
I have grown up believing that when an individual excels at what he does, it makes him desirable. I am a living example that lack of conventional good looks shouldn’t hinder you from being awesome. – Ranveer Singh
I would never recommend going on a crash diet. Drastically reducing your calorie intake can cause numerous problems, and your body will store fat because you have sent it into starvation mode. I eat every two hours to maintain my blood sugar levels. – Ranveer Singh
I love chocolates. It could be something as simple as a chocolate cake with vanilla ice-cream, or it could be macarons filled with chocolate. – Ranveer Singh
I just love being in front of the camera making people laugh, cry, entertaining them. It’s the ‘nasha’ of performance that I enjoy. It’s my calling, and I’m blessed to be able to do that for a living. – Ranveer Singh
