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!
