A
Few Naveen quotes:
(On
Sayid) “If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s
that the show’s completely unpredictable,” he says.
“It’s constantly changing. But I sense something sort
of spiritual about the character, that somehow there’s something
in him that’s trying to atone for what he’s done in
the past.”
“I’ve
been playing the guitar since I was twelve,” he says. “If
I had any other job apart from acting, that’s probably what
I would have done.”
He
adds, “I would have liked to have traded places with Jimmy
Hendrix for a day just to have that kind of mind in terms of playing.
There were things that Hendrix did that I think would be impossible
for anybody else to get. They were things that will never happen
again.”
“The
highest compliment I’ve ever received is when people have
come up to me and said, ‘I don’t watch TV, but I watch
your show.’ That’s the best anyone could hope for.”
"I
was always in trouble from an early age. I had a fraught relationship
with my parents, who were very traditional. Doing plays at school
was a joyous release."
"I've
always been attracted to older women, because they know who they
are," he says. "They look infinitely better to me."
