Quotes by Abhay Deol
I did get a reputation for being choosy and not very easy to be approached, and none of that is true. It is not that I am not approachable, it is just that I am trying to find myself and establish who I am as an artist.
Beat up 10 guys, win the girl, and yet you are supposed to be a normal human being. I don't mind doing that as a superhero but not as a real person!
I am most attracted to characters and stories that I can relate to. The traditional formula of 'larger than life' I never found attractive.
I am a citizen of the planet and I want to do films that appeal to people, not communities.
Being a Deol for me is to be honest; walking with my head held high and never having to bow in front of injustice.
I can be lazy, don't get me wrong. But it's not laziness that's holding me back, it's the system where I don't fit in.
If I want to do song and dance, I will and I would like to but I don't want to do it in every film. Where is the novelty then? It just takes the fun out of work for me.
