Ganesh Quotes
# “I am a Kannadiga and I am proud to be one.”

# “My favourite scene in Mungaru Male is with the rabbit. As a matter of fact, I have kept that rabbit with me after shooting for the film.”
# “I don't have any favourites in the Kannada film industry. I like all actors.”
# “Personally, I don’t like remakes. I like straight films and I will try to produce the same under my banner. But acting is my profession and if somebody comes with a remake, which has good storyline and commercial elements, I will accept it.”
# "For me, every film is a dream project, every film a dream film, every actor a dream actor and every director a dream director. I face each project with a fresh mind - like it truly is a new project.”
# “I don't have any kind of special affinity for comedy or action roles. I am an entertainer. I am willing to go to any length to give my best performance yet. I want to be a versatile actor. I do not want to be stereotyped, playing this or that kind of role.”
# “I’m an actor and I will do my work honestly and that’s all. Rest is left to the audience. What I feel is film industry is a gambling. Nobody can predict success and failure. We can just hope that a movie will be successful.”
# “My first film was Tapori in which I played a negative role, that of a villain. My movies after that were all side roles. Mungaru Male is my fifteenth film.”
