Akshaye Khanna quotes [ From interview]

# “I know there is a problem with my image. I’m not really the difficult sort. I have to do something about it. Maybe I should start wooing the media. ”

# “I don’t regret anything in life. In retrospect my life has turned out just the way I would had wanted. Everything has fallen into place. I’ve always known who I am in terms of what brings me happiness. And that’s not negotiable.”

# ‘I believe failure sometimes teaches you more than success. And a leader is one who can learn from his mistakes and move on to bigger, better things.”

# ‘I don’t do things because people are watching me. I believe today’s youth does not like to emulate somebody. They are smart and sharp and like to take their own decisions, based on their personal experience.’

# “It is important to me to choose the right people to work with and, most importantly my role. All the films I’ve done so far, I’ve chosen on the basis of all these factors put together.”

# “All I’ve ever wanted to do in my life was become an actor. Everything about it attracted me to this profession. I always visited my father on the sets simply because I used to love the whole atmosphere. The work, the people, the fame, the excitement, I just loved the whole set-up. And that urged me on to join films.”

# “I’m just six films old. I have so much to learn and grow. So far, I’ve gone with what I felt was the right subject and set-up. After that, it’s the audience who decides what is to happen.”
