• "I usually look forward to storms. It's a once-in-a-lifetime moment... For me, it's paisa vasool. I get my money back if I go through a storm like that. Otherwise I can always stay at home, you know what I mean."
• "On a more serious note, the thrill, the rush of a ‘fight or flight’ situation is unmatchable. And it has almost always made for some 'paisa-vasool' moments when translated on screen."
