“Badminton is like ballet dancing. It requires a lot of control, strength, mind play and measured movement”

I Am More Spiritual Than Religious; Besides I Am Not A Fanatic.

I don’t do films because they tell a particular kind of story, I do films with stories that touch me.

When I was new, I didn’t know where my career will go. Initially, my films were not even successful, but then I learned a lot from my mistakes.

I am happy that I have entertained people and made them happy.

Indian film awards lack credibility.

Box office figures are not something that can decide the success of a film on its own, but they are one of the many yardsticks that help me measure how well a film has been received.

The journey that I have undertaken, meeting people from all walks of life and learning from them, has been my biggest achievement.

I am raising my voice as a citizen of the country. I don?t want to enter politics.

Losing someone we love, or the fear of losing someone we love one day is a difficult experience and we can all relate to it. None of us are an exception to this reality.

I do what I feel is right. I do not fear to walk on a new path and take risk.

I would love to work with Salman. We have a great tuning so if we work together, it will be great fun. But till the time we don’t get a good script, a script that excites both of us, we can’t work together.

I have had unsuccessful films, but I learned a lot from those films. I give my failures as much importance as my success.

The rule I have when choosing films is the excitement factor, I need to feel excited about the story and whatever message the film has – only then do I sign on the dotted line.

When I’m doing well, it’s like I’m in a nice little ballet. Everything is going slow all around me. It’s very peaceful.

I’ve never danced professionally as a ballet dancer, but all of my training is ballet, and I am a Fosse dancer.

It’s no good running a pig farm badly for 30 years while saying, ‘Really, I was meant to be a ballet dancer.’ By then, pigs will be your style.

I suppose I’m the only person who remembers one of the most exciting of his ballets-it’s the fruit of an unlikely collaboration between Nijinsky on the one hand and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle on the other.

Many other women have kicked higher, balanced longer, or turned faster. These are poor substitutes for passion.

Ballet technique never becomes easy, it becomes possible
