Top 48 Bhaskar's Quotes

#1. Alan Alda and his wife Arlene are two of the most life-affirming people I've ever met. He espoused equal rights for women while producing, writing, acting in and directing 'M*A*S*H'; he used to commute between the set and home because he didn't want to disrupt his kids' schooling.

#2. On a radio drama, I'd like to feel that I had just as much chance of playing Mr. Darcy as anyone else because I can sound like him, yet many radio producers find it very difficult to extend their imaginations to employing anyone who's non-white.

Bhaskar's Quotes #33205
#4. Good diet and exercise are key, but abject fear has its own rewards. And arriving on the first day for rehearsals for 'Spamalot' and seeing all these much younger, much fitter people, who I was going to be on stage with, became a catalyst for cutting out the more unhealthy aspects of my life.

Bhaskar's Quotes #35959
#5. It always interested me that 'Goodness Gracious Me' and 'The Kumars,' when shown around the world, were referred to as British comedy. It was only here that they were referred to as Asian comedy, even though I always felt it was very British in its humour and structure.

Bhaskar's Quotes #493045
#14. I'm sure I went through a stage when I resented being Indian because in every other manner, in terms of cultural reference points and vocabulary and all the rest of it, I was way ahead of everybody else - so the one thing that set me back was being Indian. And I couldn't do anything about it.

Sanjeev Bhaskar

Bhaskar's Quotes #526582

' and she said, 'When you cook your curries.'

Sanjeev Bhaskar

Bhaskar's Quotes #1156751
#30. I started working myself from about 14, really, so I wasn't a burden on my family. I did a paper round and a milk round. When I was 15 or 16, I worked in a supermarket on Saturdays stacking shelves, and then every summer I temped, right through university until my working days started.

Sanjeev Bhaskar

Bhaskar's Quotes #1159143

Sanjeev Bhaskar

Bhaskar's Quotes #1342973
#35. I think family, friends and a sense of community give you greater happiness than money. But, of course, one has to have a minimum on which to live. The joy I get from sitting around and having a laugh is immeasurable - much greater than anything that I have ever bought.

Sanjeev Bhaskar

Bhaskar's Quotes #1406221
#36. If I go anywhere where there are people who vaguely look like me, there is always that feeling of, 'Actually I do look quite similar to everyone else.' At moments like that, I become very, very British. My accent gets more clipped, and I stride around as if I've got an empire.

Sanjeev Bhaskar

Bhaskar's Quotes #1406827
#37. When we created 'Goodness Gracious Me,' it was quoting 'Python' and Woody Allen lines that really bonded the writers, and the 'Spamalot' material is so utterly, wonderfully surreal that it hasn't dated.

Sanjeev Bhaskar

Bhaskar's Quotes #1442766
#38. Because of my Asian-ness, I couldn't be anonymous - what I said, what I ate, what I did at the weekend were startlingly different to what everyone else did. I was also a performer, quick and chameleon-like, good at accents, so that made me stand out.

Bhaskar's Quotes #1522606

Sanjeev Bhaskar

Bhaskar's Quotes #1597727
#40. I was greatly influenced by 'The Goons' and 'Monty Python' reconstituting what comedy was - it could come from a funny word, not just a set up and a pay-off. I liked the zaniness; they were satirical, slightly saucy and very literary in their references.

#45. It was a truth I had to accept, a truth that underscored that I had aged - one that brought with its attendant images of loneliness and irrelevance.

Bhaskar Ghose

Bhaskar's Quotes #1741533
#46. Not only for science, but for any kind of research work and studies--isolation, pure ambience, and peace of mind is a must. Urban ambience is full of destructions and everyday's cacophony further hampers the research aptitude of a student.

Bhaskar Sharma

Bhaskar's Quotes #1797384
#47. I've always saved. I believe in keeping money back for a rainy day and living within my means. I don't buy expensive clothes; I have a 10-year-old car I'm hoping to replace when a big job comes in. I suppose when we do go on family holidays, I am quite happy to spend when we are there.

Sanjeev Bhaskar

Bhaskar's Quotes #1853258
#48. I have issues with inheritance tax, particularly coming from a migrant family. My dad has worked incredibly hard all his life, so it seems odd to me that someone who has gone through that experience and has managed to save then gets taxed for dying.
