Dev Patel's quotes

  • I'm not a Casanova in 'The Newsroom,' by the way - just another hard worker.
  • I visit India a lot.
  • I have a Blackberry which I use, but I am one of those people who can only type on it with one hand.
  • I don't have a Facebook or Twitter account.
  • But I'm tone deaf - window-shattering tone deaf. I can't sing for the life of me. I can't sing or dance, so no remake of 'Grease' for me!
  • Television moves fast, and you don't have the indulgences you have when you're shooting movies of so many takes because there are tight deadlines.
  • The thing is, I am a loving person. I am super sappy when it comes to romance. But I'm not the Antonio Banderas, swashbuckling, Pierce Brosnan, smooth-talking type.
  • 'Slumdog' was my first movie, and I had never been to India before - I was just a teenager in the U.K. with my headphones and my Nike shoes. What did I know about growing up in a slum?
  • Training in taekwondo for eight years and then being able to do it in a film was pretty amazing.
  • Yeah, my family is of Indian heritage.
  • The dark side is when you are with family and friends, and you have paparazzi screaming at you - that's been hard to deal with.
  • I don't think I have the pulling power of Jim Carrey.
