I think every actor would wish there is some challenge that is left. I would consider to be creatively dead if I were to say that I am satisfied now.
Interpretation
An actor should always seek new challenges to stay creatively fulfilled.
Amitabh Bachchan expresses the idea that true creativity thrives on the pursuit of new challenges. If an actor becomes complacent and satisfied with their current state, they risk losing their creative spark, leading to a stagnation in their artistry and personal growth. The essence of being an artist is to never settle and continually seek opportunities that provoke thought, inspire growth, and push the boundaries of one's craft.
In practice
In a motivational speech to aspiring artists, one could say: 'Remember, just like Amitabh Bachchan said, every actor should embrace new challenges.'
I like to feel the butterflies in the stomach, I like to go home and have a restless night and wonder how I'm going to be able to accomplish this feat, get jittery. That hunger and those butterflies in the stomach are very essential for all creative people.
Frankly I've never really subscribed to these adjectives tagging me as an 'icon', 'superstar', etc. I've always thought of myself as an actor doing his job to the best of his ability.
Please explain to me what being an icon is. How do you define it? I haven't been given a script. I don't know what the dialogues of an icon are.
Yes, every venture is always filled with apprehensions. But if we were to conduct ourselves continuously on that aspect, then we would lose the most important reason to be in this profession: to challenge the art of and be part of what is commonly known as our creative instincts.
People ask me why it is that when I portray the 'angry young man' on screen, I really look angry. They reason that it is due to some suppression in my childhood. But, it's just that I can't help it; it's in my genes.
There will be no new music until it's good enough and until I'm ready.
The point of my photography has always been to challenge myself, to go a little further than my Germanic discipline and Teutonic nature would traditionally permit me to.
I write because writing is something that I have to do. And it doesn't matter whether people like it or not. When I write, I feel the pressure and anxiety that come with taking an empty piece of paper and trying to fill it with something from your own consciousness.
Literature is the most beautiful of countries
I try to make clothes the way Lou Reed does music, with minimal chord changes. It's about giving everything I make a worn, softened feel. It's about an elegance being tinged with the barbaric, the luxury of not caring.
All I needed was a steady table and a typewriter...a marble-topped bedroom washstand table made a good place; the dining-room table between meals was also suitable.
