“It is important to be well read, at least a little bit.”

Humor is most powerful thing that uses laughter as it base to chase your blues away.

A lot of guys try to mingle with me because of who I am. If I encounter a guy with a clean heart, I will go by my instincts. I guess my man won’t be from the film industry.

I am not a home breaker and I can never be. I haven’t been brought up to create havoc in other people’s homes.

My professional life has nothing to do with my personal life and vice versa.

It’s unarguable that the right shoes can really add elegance to an outfit and to the person who’s wearing them. Take a pair of high heels, for instance. Suddenly, you’re looking taller, shoulders back, body curved.

I never really do much research before signing a film. It is just the script and character that I concentrate on.

I have always been in a relationship. I don’t remember the time when I wasn’t in one

Heroine’ is about a declining and imbalanced superstar – a very brave and bold role. I wanted to test whether I could carry a role like this. I have given 200 per cent to this role. She’s a very complex character, very aggressive, manipulative and bold, yet she’s very fragile.

Life is full of happiness and tears; be strong and have faith.

My co-stars call me selfish. They say you are only interested in yourself and what you are only interested is yourself and what you are doing in front of the camera. I reply, I can’t help it; it’s what got me where I am.

Actors are greedy. They can never be satisfied. I want praise as well as box office returns.

I am proud to be a vegetarian and I am against those who eat meat. Go green to be fit, that’s the best way for me at least.

You are as old as you look. If you are fit and pretty at an X age, why won’t filmmakers want to cast you, whether you are married or not?

Whole object of intellectual education is formation of logical disposition.

If you consider what are called the virtues in mankind, you will find their growth is assisted by education and cultivation.

The educational process has no end beyond itself; it is its own end.

Education is not preparation for life, Education is life itself.

If we teach today’s students as we taught yesterday’s, we rob them of tomorrow.

To see your enemy and know him is a part of the complete education of man.

What we suffer from today is an excess of education.

Reading is not an end to itself, but a means to an end.
