So they say

"We can have facilitative mediation in disputes in pricing
of natural resources like the pricing of gas and oil which are complicated matters.

Judges do not have expertise to deal with those matters. The judgments
delivered by judges sometimes can hit the economy of the
country which is not good.”

"The ideal combination would be to do films that are both
commercial entertainers, but also challenging to me as an actor.
But let’s face it. No film comes with a hit guarantee and each
time it’s a new gamble. I’m just glad that most times, it has
well been worth the risk.”

"I might be portraying a Parsi in five different films but none
of them are similar to each other. Every single character varies
from one another and that’s how an actor operates.”

"Actors often don’t know how to use stage space; their performance becomes

a series of film poses and mannerisms. They don’t know how to
perform for live audiences.”

"The Parsis threw me out of the community after (the film)

Being Cyrus, so I had no choice but to make a Hindi movie.”

"We were the first orchestra to offer downloadable concerts, and to make the library of
music accessible to all.”

"Initially we had chosen Panther. But research among consumers
indicated no one liked the name. The second choice was Cobra, which

people seemed to instantly like. So we changed the name at the last moment.

My brother had an advertising agency in Hyderabad, so we flew across to

Hyderabad before the beer was bottled and changed the name to Cobra.

That was the best move I made.”

"Traditionally a farcha is a large piece of chicken that is
battered, crumbed and fried. Most find it large so now we
make boneless small chicken farcha nuggets and they are an absolute runaway success.”

"I’m not for this myth of writing or painting being isolated activities.

What one has to come to terms with when one is writing, is, (that)

one does not know who is reading you at any given point of time.
But if your works are not in print then, of course, no one is likely
to be reading you at all.”

"I found my voice. It is tongue in cheek, strong, uncompromising,

sentient, patriotic, spontaneous, purposeful. I have no doubts about what I am

doing. I am driven to write. I know what I want to write for the next 10 years!”

"Depending on the monsoon, depending on the temperature, the customer will decide whether
he wants to shop or not. It’s a tough business, margins are very low and it’s not easy to please
customers. Yes, it’s the most fascinating business and everybody wants to get into retail.”

"The employee must be made to realize how difficult the
decision (to layoff) was and in case the employee has been
reasonably good, do offer him to be in touch for a possibility to
rejoin when things get better. All possible assistance should
be offered in expediting the severance package and in
terms of providing reference for an alternate job.”

"If you have vague phrases and words and the litigation is going
to be the norm rather than the exception, then the people on
the other side of the world can’t justify what they are going to
end up getting. And if that’s the case, then what was once
guaranteed to be coming India’s way, will now have to be fought
for. That’s the concern.”

"You can pull out your grandmother’s sari and wear it. (But) it’s difficult to pull out
your grandmother’s gown in Europe and wear it.”

"‘I bequeath one shilling to my wife so that she may take a tram ride to somewhere and drown herself.’

She did not accept the bequest.”
