After all, what is cinema? It is an interaction, a discussion that throws up questions and provides some solutions. The solutions might look simple, impractical or too fictionalised. But one must realise that viewers empathise with certain characters because they strike a chord with the viewers' needs and frame of mind.

Maybe I have some god-given gift to act as a policeman.

I am neither dejected nor depressed because every one has a bad phase in one's life. I realized it the hard way because the momentum of my social life too slowed down.

Social work and politics never go together although the intention behind politics is social work.

Work Politics Together

My father died. No one from this industry came to offer condolences to my house. No one offered few words to console me. Why should I continue in this cruel film world? I am discontinuing my acting career.

I am able to do social service only because of the name I gained from acting.

Vice Use Us

I wish other films were shot like 'Melvilasom.'

Suresh Gopi

Wish Were T

An artiste like me can never be satisfied because it is the dissatisfaction that helps me grow and achieve what I want to.

Suresh Gopi

Art Want Use

It is always good to take a break and then come back with more strength. You can access things from a different point of view.

Suresh Gopi

Strength Good You

I am a person with no desperation and I live on hope, but the difference is that I do not compromise on hope.

But what we have is not democracy; it is demonocracy! We are ruled by demons.

Suresh Gopi

T Ruled Rule

It is not the right style to think that one person can control everything.

Very Think Thing

When a riot happens in a city or a town or a village, the man in charge of the place is held responsible, and the same thing has happened to Modi.

I admire Mammootty as an actor and I have no issues sharing the screen with him.

Look at the plight of a devotee. One cannot even use the name of his favourite God. What sort of democracy is this?

Suresh Gopi

God Vote Use

If someone asks me whether I have seen God in flesh and blood, my answer would be that I believe that a temple priest is the God in front of me.

Suresh Gopi

God Would Whether

I don't believe there is a need for a first among equals when it comes to the industry's top actors.

I am what I am only because of films.

I have found a perfect balance between work and social activities and I intend to give both my best.

Even I feel I am an ambassador for the Indian police. Even if someone doesn't want to give me that credit, I want to have it for myself.

Melvilasam' broke a short, silent phase in my career.

When you are involved with the film and the character, you don't find it tiresome at all. But if you think it's tiresome, it will be.

Suresh Gopi

Success keeps you going as a person and as an actor.

Suresh Gopi

Be it a cop, or an IAS officer or even a goonda, the audience wants to see me as a person who discusses social issues, asks questions that they have and squeeze out answers from those concerned.

Suresh Gopi

I have seen pain. I can feel the pain of those who undergo it. Pain gets transferred to those who see someone suffering.

Suresh Gopi

I know that keeping aloof is not a wise thing but since I have nothing to prove, please don't depict me as an escapist.

Suresh Gopi

When parents accused me of polluting young minds, I was hurt.

Suresh Gopi

I feel that a doctor should have the vision of a leader.

Suresh Gopi

Yes, I would love to do more such films that take on issues like corruption.

Suresh Gopi

Art can influence people, and indeed it should do that as well.

Suresh Gopi

I have a very clear, genuine vision about what political work should be, what politics and politicians should contribute to the nation.

Suresh Gopi

For me, acting as Raja Ravi Varma, a legend, is not just exciting but very challenging.

Suresh Gopi

Yes, I have political aptitude and attitude too.

Suresh Gopi

I belong to a strong Congress family. Right from my grandfather, my family has been supporting the Congress.

Suresh Gopi

Even as a child, I knew what the symbol of the Congress was.

Suresh Gopi

I always wanted to do more comedy roles.

Suresh Gopi

I feel nationalism is the basic essence of my statements or revolts.

Suresh Gopi

See, my passion is films and I don't believe in political parties.

Suresh Gopi

I am not responsible for being cast as a police officer often.

Suresh Gopi

According to my stars, I will live up to age 70.

Suresh Gopi

Even though no offer has come, I will certainly accept an offer if it comes from the BJP to join the government.

Suresh Gopi

Why should there be a different set of laws for criminals who are juveniles? As far as I am concerned there should be no reason for any leniency.

Suresh Gopi

Artistes don't grow old, instead they grow younger.

All of us make mistakes and one learns from the bitter lessons of the past.

Suresh Gopi

Modi invite me for his swearing in ceremony and I did attend it.

Suresh Gopi

I was a star campaigner for the Aruvikkara byelection and the assembly elections. They were very valuable experiences.

Suresh Gopi

A lot of people consider the actors as their role models and look up to them for guidance. When your decision affects the lives of others, you have to learn to live up to the responsibility.

Suresh Gopi

My films and roles have given me a special place in the hearts of people. I am aware that it is a huge responsibility and I am doing my best to live up to those expectations.

Suresh Gopi

All my films have raised questions on issues that are contemporary and relevant to our times.

After all, what is cinema? It is an interaction, a discussion that throws up questions and provides some solutions. The solutions might look simple, impractical or too fictionalised.

I was contacted by Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, MP, through the Pune Film Institute and offered the post in the NFDC. I accepted it for the sake of Kerala and because it is an opportunity for improving the content of Doordarshan.
