Shah Rukh Khan gets candid about his desires, women, failure and more…

Shah Rukh Khan on stardom!

"I don’t wear my stardom like a tuxedo. I wear like a T shirt. And that’s how it should be. If you’re a real star you don’t need to prove it in any other way than being gentlemanly, kind and cool."

This desire to be a confident man!

"A lot of the bravado, a lot of the stuff that I do on stage with the immense amount of confidence I have is 90% of what I’m not. It’s the desire to be that person."

His desire to lead the pack!

"If you throw me to the wolves, I’ll come back leading the pack. I really believe that."

His wish to cook Italian food!

"I want to learn how to cook Italian food. I think it’s very sexy. And I’ve got all the other sexy qualities. I’ve got a tattoo on! I want to learn ten songs on a guitar and sing them to every woman in the world. 10 songs on a guitar, an open jeep, Italian food cooking abilities... looks, I have. Yeah, I’m a full package man, come on! I deserve to be a superstar. (laughs) And I’m humble."

His art of loving women!

"I’ve made an art and profession out of loving women who are going to get married to someone, are already married or engaged. I run after them, and I get them from wherever they are. Sometimes through my charm, sometimes I throw them off the building. I think I have a problem."

Love being loved!

"I can be very modest and say it’s a very regular life, it’s normal. But obviously it’s not normal. There’s no other place I’d rather be. I love being loved. I love being a big star. I love being in the public eye. I love being criticised. I love being controversy-ed. I love being Shah Rukh Khan."

On his failure!

"I’m such an impudent, incorrigible, uncontrollable, arrogant and self centered human being, if you tell me not to do it, I’ll do it again. And I’ll do it worse, if need be. I’m not happy that I failed. I wish I had done it right. But failure encourages me even more. Heartbreak is followed by ‘no I’m not letting this go’. Every time I fail, I’m dangerous. "
