Chiyan Vikram quotes

# “I never lose my temper. If I am upset about something, if I sense a misunderstanding, I just walk up to the person and talk it over. I don’t keep things inside me. I am a bad actor in real life. I can’t lie, and if I do so, you can make out I am lying.”
# “I am a big fan of Rajini sir. He is a class by himself. If there are hundred people in a frame and if he is there, you don’t watch anyone but him, that takes a lot of doing, I don’t think anybody else can do it.” [about Rajini Kanth]
# “I do not claim to be superior. There are many people who are talented and come up with unbelievable performances. I like to watch everyone’s acting and imbibe a little of it. My main aim is to perform as much variety as possible without being cast in a stereotype.”
# “My passion for cinema has to be answered and I will keep the journey as long as it burns inside me. “
# “For me, I guess, success has been the result of a combination of hard work, perseverance and a little talent. I won’t add luck to it in a major way because had I been lucky, success would have happened much earlier. But the hard fact is that despite the setbacks and upsets, I never was distracted.”
# “I owe my success to the continued affection of my fans and I feel it is my duty to offer them rich and varied fare.”
