I'm not hungry for success. I am only hungry for good work, and that is how it is with most superstars. Every day I tell myself how fortunate I am to be where I am.
Akshay Kumar

I hate partying. If I'm forced to go to a party or a social gathering, I go in at 9:30 and leave at 10 P.M.
Akshay Kumar
3.
I'm a realist. Where I come from, 'phenomenons' don't exist. I'm from a land where people make mistakes and try again, harder, faster; where negativity is not an option.
Akshay Kumar
4.
When you taste super-success after tasting super-failure, there is huge relief.
Akshay Kumar

It's the best thing if your work is your passion in life. It makes me feel like I'm always on break.
Akshay Kumar

I do not hold God ransom to my success; whatever is his will is my way. I stand by moments; I do not stand by time.
Akshay Kumar

Work is work, but family is for life. That's what really matters to me.
Akshay Kumar
8.
I savour the adulation and love I have been getting from my fans and the blessings of elders in my family. Fourteen years have given me a lot and I can't thank God and the industry enough.
Akshay Kumar
9.
Each one of us has his own place in the industry. I've been able to prove that you don't necessarily have to be a Khan to be successful!
Akshay Kumar
10.
I have never believed in being part of any one group or camp.
Akshay Kumar
11.
My love for sports will never die. I love martial arts and I want to promote it in whichever way I can. I am a fighter first, then an actor.
Akshay Kumar
12.
To be honest I had learnt martial arts for a girl. So I started learning the art to impress her, but eventually I started loving martial art more than the girl. So later it became a habit it became fun.
Akshay Kumar
13.
The day I take either my body or my work for granted will be the day you hear that I've smashed every inch of myself to pieces.
Akshay Kumar
14.
I'll do at least one action film every year because of my fans. This is my promise to them.
Akshay Kumar

I'm an athletic actor. I'm known for my action; I'm a guy who does my own stunts on screen.
Akshay Kumar
16.
I enjoy the risk of bungee-jumping. I used to pay money to do it. Now, it's the opposite. I get paid to do action.
Akshay Kumar

I do not stick to rules when cooking. I rely on my imagination.

Mixed Martial Arts is a dangerous practice that could result in injuries and loss of life.

I always call myself a stuntman first and then an actor.

I could break bricks with my hands when I was 12.
Akshay Kumar
24.
It feels wonderful to be go back to the 1940s and recreate the whole era through my clothes, voice and body language. I am tired of playing the larger-than-life hero.
Akshay Kumar
25.
Watch and enjoy Mixed Martial Arts, and if some people are thinking about doing it, they must be very careful and think about enrolling in training first, they must make a thoughtful decision before actually doing it.
Akshay Kumar

Linen is good because it looks trendy and at the same time it's very comfotable

Playing a prisoner of war trapped in Pakistan for three years was a novelty for me. We made sure that we didn't talk about India versus Pakistan but about the emotions of people on both sides and how terrorism affects us all.
Akshay Kumar
28.
It takes two hands to clap! I cannot be solely blamed for what happened in my relationships! If things soured, it happened because of both parties. Not just me!
Akshay Kumar
29.
I'm glad that I'm being acclaimed as an actor. Today, when my hard work has paid off I can chill out about it.
Akshay Kumar
30.
I have dabbled with action, romance, dance, emotion and comedy. I think I've done well in all.
It's important to keep doing something different and reinvent oneself to avoid stagnation from
creeping in.

Why bother with Google when I have a wife who knows everything about everything!
Akshay Kumar

I'd never do a film that would hurt anyone's sentiments, be it Indian or not.
Akshay Kumar

It drives me nuts how I rely on my wife for everything. I can't imagine a day without her!
Akshay Kumar
34.
I see the friends I made over the years who have become family today, people I became acquainted with who have achieved so much in their lives. They taught me something with each meeting.
Akshay Kumar
35.
Mixed Martial Arts is wonderful to watch, it is very practical but dangerous at the same time. You have to be very careful when doing something like that.
Akshay Kumar
36.
I would just like to tell my fans how much it means to me to make a movie that they like.
Akshay Kumar
37.
For a guy who used to steal watches on the streets of Chandni Chowk for kicks, I surely think my success at the age of 22 was pretty early!
Akshay Kumar
38.
On every birthday, I ask my wife, 'What would you like this year?' and her instant reply is, 'Diamonds! Diamonds! Diamonds!' I'm always living in hope that one day she'll say she just wants me!
Akshay Kumar

I'm glad that my films have been consistently faring well rather than one stray Friday!
Akshay Kumar

If any of my characters require me to blacken my beard I do it, otherwise I don't.
Akshay Kumar
41.
I always check my harness before I do a stunt; I test-drive the cars I have to race or explode; I'm present at all pyrotechnical rehearsals; and I walk through everything step-by-step. No man should put their life in someone else's hands unless they have covered their own safety from all angles.
Akshay Kumar
42.
People want to see realism in action now.
Akshay Kumar
43.
Bachchan has been in the film industry over 35 years and he is the real king. There are many who are around for 15-20 years and like to call themselves king. There is only one king and he is Amitabh Bachchan
Akshay Kumar
44.
People want to see realism in action now. People want the actors to perform than the computers performing. Though I have done both, I enjoy the realism of action more.
Akshay Kumar
45.
Most of the films are only 60% taken, rest is a director's input.
Akshay Kumar
46.
I am so glad people have started making films n martial arts and self-defense, which is actually the need of the hour.
Akshay Kumar

IIFA is always involved in charity, and that's why it's a great thing that I am a part of IIFA and will continue to work along with them.
Akshay Kumar

I like comedy when its mixed with action, it's just so much fun to do comedy with a bit of action, its fun to watch and also so much fun to do.
