Ramamurthy: "I just think make hay while the sun shines really when you're an actor. When the opportunities present themselves you just better take them, otherwise you just don't know."
Ramamurthy: "I was pre-med, so I was going to go into the family business, more or less. But I came to my senses, luckily, and backed out, and decided to go to drama school."
Ramamurthy: "You spend most of your time as an actor unemployed, so you're not going to hear me complaining that I haven't had a day off in three weeks."
Ramamurthy: "I like the physicality in doing the different physical motions, being a beast."
Ramamurthy: "My mother is teaching me Indian recipes. I'll go to the market, get everything fresh, have a glass of red wine, and just do it. I find it really therapeutic."
Ramamurthy: "Since 'Heroes' started, I've probably had about 15 or 16 film scripts sent to me with Indian characters, and out of those, maybe one was good."
Ramamurthy: "As the actor, you can't go in saying, 'I'm the bad guy.' You've got to think your reasons for doing what you're doing are good."
Ramamurthy: "I've gotta say that there's very little that I miss about being a beast, if I'm being totally honest. It's just not a fun experience to go through."
Ramamurthy: "It's not the outer appearance that matters, it's what's inside."
Ramamurthy: "I feel more at home in London than in Los Angeles, definitely. If I could have my choice, I certainly would live in London as opposed to LA. I just prefer it here. But I love the work and in LA there's just so much more of it, and as an actor you kind of have to go where the work is. Luckily, I've been able to get the work out there. If work brings me back here, and a project is here and I can do it, I'll jump at the chance."
