My parents made me who I am. They are kind, generous, loving people.

My parents are no more but I am sure they are up there smiling and supporting me.

I am thankful to my audience, parents, and the media who have supported me over the years.

I am a proud American, regardless of the fact that my parents were separated from me forcefully.

My parents never gave me a nickname. But for my friends, I am everything from 'Nushki' to 'Nusheshwar.'

My parents have put in a lot of efforts for me. Whatever I am and wherever I am is because of them. I won't do anything to displease them.

If I am depressed, I do not like to talk to my parents or friends, instead I go and sit in a church or a temple which relaxes me immediately.

My forefathers were from Punjab and so were my parents before they shifted to Delhi. And let me make this very clear - I am not a South Indian.

It must have been horrible for my parents to see me go from public school to comprehensive to detention centre to borstal. I was busy ploughing my own furrow, but I must have been a terrible worry to them, and for that I am sorry.

I am a wild orchid of comedy, so I can only do well under specific conditions... There are people who I think can do any room, and do stadiums and thousand-seat theaters, and then there are people like me who just perform for my parents.

My whole thing was, as much as I was inspired by what my parents do, and growing up on film sets, watching that made me really want to do that. I am my own person, and I think that the only thing with the Hemingway name is that it has gotten me in the door.

My parents raised me to treat people the way you would want to be treated and to be polite. Sometimes, when I get nervous or insecure, I might overcompensate and might not be totally true to what I am feeling inside. But I get nervous and maybe too smiley and polite.

When I was a little kid, no matter what my parents told me, I would always argue - even if I agreed with them. And I've always been a show-off. As I've gotten older, I've found ways to be more subtle about it, but that's the way I am. I suppose that has something to do with why I write and direct.
