Many people do not know how hard I work. There are many days I work more than 18 hours.
I am happy to be a composer.
I love to simplify the ragas and use them in my music as much as possible.
I make singers sing every note fully and wait till they hit the right note.
Big producers trust the music directors. Small directors are insecure but like to experiment.
I always believe that it is destiny and divine intervention that are with me.
I do everything from my heart.
Critics said I am nasal, but my fans made me hit. So I will not stop singing if critics don't like me.
When I started singing, people said I couldn't sing because I was a music director. I proved them wrong.
I have a collection of caps, but I never count them.
I am a human, and I fear flops.
I know there are many great talents, much more talented than I am, but they haven't been able to achieve what I have.
A singer doesn't sing at home he or she wants his songs to reach out the audience. Audience always gives you your due.
I am keen to prove myself as an actor.
Singing and composing come naturally to me, but acting does not. I have worked at it and attended several workshops to learn the craft.
Salman Khan gave me a break, and that proved to be a boon. By the grace of God, my first song was a blockbuster.
Quite often, when I am recording a song or getting ready for a concert, I pray.
Pooja Bhatt is a very good director.
Nowadays, everyone is sporting a tattoo, so the uniqueness of having one is gone unless you have an original tattoo.
Never take your critics lightly. You must always try to win them over by your hard work. Don't brush them off.
My nasal voice has given me recognition.
My hobby is my profession, and therefore, I keep on composing creatively.
Music is my first love, as it's in my blood.
Live audiences are quite demanding. They shower you with love and admiration, but only if you have done a very good job.
Just praise is not enough; you've got to get work to survive.
Just being around Salman Khan, who is so energetic and humorous at the same time, is always entertaining.
It is important for children to learn, whether they want to pursue music or any other field.
In one word, if I have to describe 'Damadamm!' then I will say that the performances, the music, and the script reflect sincerity.
I'll sing for my films only when I want to.
