“There have been interviews with people saying they are jealous of Kangana. There are so many people who are jealous of my success.”

When an individual stands against the government and wins, it’s not the victory of the individual but it’s the victory of the democracy.

Who is fit is a hit.

I am not ashamed of anything – not my past, not my affairs, not my body, and most definitely not my desire.

Hits and flops are overrated.

There is a huge gap between the remuneration of an actor and actress.

I realised fashion is nothing but freedom of expression.

My biggest asset is that I know how to learn, and that, I believe, will help me in the long run.

I am an independent girl. I always put my work first in my priority.

I don’t find it humiliating when they call me a psychopath or witch.

As it is, relationships are difficult, aren’t they?

People talk about PlayStations, video games, social network and Twitter; I can’t handle it.

I don’t feel like a 27-year-old; I feel I am way mature than someone that age.

The kind of roles which you get, people identify with your roles, and it then leads to the kind of brands you get.

I don’t seek validation outside, not even with the audience. Today they like me, but tomorrow they may hate me. I don’t want to be anybody’s role model.

If a woman is super-successful, she is called a psychopath.

No one can guarantee success of a film.

In the very few interviews I’ve made, it doesn’t matter how long we’ve talked to each other, the headline is still just about my paycheck.

Ever since I had that interview in which I said I was bisexual it seems twice as many people wave at me in the streets.

Whenever you interview fat people, you feel bad, because you know you’re not going to hire them.

I have made an art form of the interview. The French are the best interviewers, despite their addiction to the triad, like all Cartesians.

I don’t think of myself as giving interviews. I just have conversations. That gets me in trouble.

It’s impossible to always get across what I’m trying to say, but, if I just stay honest, then I’m not going to look back on any of these interviews and wonder what I was trying to do or be.

Marketing is what gets you noticed, and that side of it something – this side of it, if you like, doing interviews – is the side of it that I least enjoy, and yet is 50% of the project.

Appearances matter – and remember to smile.
