“I want to make films that cater to the world audiences.”

Item numbers are not my cup of tea.

I really don’t want to be known as a fashionista. I’d like to be someone more than that.

Image means a lot. It is everything in the business that we are in.

I’m my own hero on the sets; why should I work with other heroes? The Khans did not want to work with me when I started. Why should I work with them now?

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.

I began to work the stage and get the audience into it. I also learned how to have fun out there. It is something I will never forget.

I never understood the need for a “live” audience. My music, because of its extreme quietude, would be happiest with a dead one.

If a film has a social message, it is very important for me to know what the message is and how it’s going to be delivered, but it’s not something I look for all the time.

Life is not a spectator sport.

An audience is an abstraction; it has no taste. It must depend on the only person who has (pardon, should have), the conductor.

Life is not a spectator sport. If you’re going to spend your whole life in the grandstand just watching what goes on, in my opinion you’re wasting your life.

Audiences and, to a large extent, critics who want less from theater than it is possible for it to give. If everybody’s encouraged to want less, you’ll end up with less.

An audience is always warming but it must never be necessary to your work.
