“I started modelling while still studying. I liked doing television commercials and being in front of the camera. Lots of ad directors told me to try for films.”

I will always choose to work in a movie based on whether I would want to watch it – if I would be willing to spend money in a theatre on it. The script and the people you will work with come after that.

Cause she owned the fire she’d become the storm.

Always keep the child within you alive! It’ll help you in shooting.

And in between a guilty laughter that pretended to move on, her eyes shed tears of reality and broke all her delusions.

I’m not much involved in sports, and I don’t play, either.

The title ‘Dohchay’ is very perfect for the film. It is used very well in the title track. If you see the film, you will understand it.

I could not make mistakes while choosing films when I started out.

My mom keeps khabar of everything, so I don’t feel lonely.

I feel that modelling has groomed my personality and made me a confident person, but even today, when I go on the ramp, I get nervous. I am more comfortable being in front of the camera than walking on the ramp.

So hold onto what calms your soul, for everything is temporary, hang by the moments that feel alive uncomplicate and just BE.

I have declined projects made under big banners because I didn’t have much to do in them.

I want to be the black and white moment that flashes in front of your eyes, when you hum your favorite tune; your soul song.

I think if you’re talented and not desperate to do any film that comes your way, and are doing justice to all your roles, then you’re fine, because you can’t predict the rest. You also can’t predict the audience’s reaction.

Sometimes all you need is a pop of color.

I don’t know how much of the ‘casting couch’ exists in the industry, as I’ve not seen it myself. I’m glad that I’ve not had to.

The sound of applause. It’s Music. It’s Love.

I actually think film and TV are sort of the same thing now. To me they’re all motion pictures. There’s a camera, a script, other actors and a director. Doing a sitcom is a little different.

Rape is a crime against sleep and memory; it’s afterimage imprints itself like an irreversible negative from the camera obscura of dreams.

What’s the biggest compliment is if I read a review and it’s exactly what I wrote down in my diary before ever filming it. That’s really cool. That’s the biggest signifier of closing the gaps.

There’s a gap between what I want to do, what I do on camera, and what gets edited. Right? So the goal is to try and close the gaps.

Cameras aren’t guns. They can’t really hurt you.

I started in a research lab for TV cameras, then I worked at a tape duplication facility.

The one hour live debate in the West Wing that we did was one of the most exciting times for me on stage or on camera, because anything could go wrong.

I want the public to realize that above all I am an actor, a very professional one who loves every minute of being in front of the camera. But one who becomes very miserable the instant the director shouts, ‘Cut!’
