“I was more excited than scared, at the opportunity to work in an English movie.”

Comedy is difficult for an actor. But I think I have a good sense of humor and manage to make people laugh and make them happy.

The larger the audience the better. The more pockets in the world, the more interesting and exciting because it just makes it that much more liberating. This makes it that much more liberating for the various facets of creativity to be explored.

Beauty is transient and changes with time.

Even prior to marriage and motherhood, it’s always been about prioritising and focusing on what you can commit to. That’s been my approach to every aspect of my life, be it my relationships or my professional commitments.

Life will take its toll on all of us. We get injured, we get old. It’s really sad to try to run away from these harsh realities of life. Looks are not everything. I am not going to look beautiful all the time.

I have a great story to tell and I tell it well. No holds barred.

I’m just an average woman with average concerns.

For me, it’s not about breaking big in Hollywood, but having interesting experiences.

Right now, I’m following the Buddhist principle: Smile as abuse is hurled your way and this too shall pass.

My biggest concern is always the students who are working toward a certain career – when they limit themselves to just that one option. They need to know that the world is huge – it’s an ocean, and there are so many options. It’s not the end of the world if they don’t get to pursue an apparent childhood dream.

I know for a fact that if there’s a role which I am suited for, I’ll be signed on. I’ll never go begging.

Strangely, nothing makes me feel tired, fatigued, at all. I’ve gone days and nights without sleep, and still the mind is in such a positive space it just doesn’t make you feel fatigued.

Elegance is innate, individual, eternal, it stands the test of time!

Do we recognize the platform that Indian cinema has been given? Of course. And typically India of us, we gracefully acknowledge our host’s grace and we thank you for celebrating us and our cinema.

My family is my strength and my weakness.

Passion is passion. It’s the excitement between the tedious spaces, and it doesn’t matter where it’s directed.

Best place to view is from the beach. Excitement guaranteed!

If you are working on something exciting that you really care about, you don’t have to be pushed. The vision pulls you.

Somewhere within you is a purpose, a beautiful purpose that will excite you and fulfill you.

Always work hard on something uncomfortably exciting.

Now and then I miss the excitement about being in the cockpit of an airplane and doing new things.

The message of frustration is an exciting signal. it means that your brain beleives you could be doing better than you currently are.

Dreaming about being an actress is more exciting than being one.
