A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing and mojito in your hand.

Of course there’s a lot of knowledge in universities: the freshmen bring a little in; the seniors don’t take much away, so knowledge sort of accumulates.

People hate people who are good at things. People hate people who are cute.

It’s OK to do cute little things like kissing a turtle, but you can’t kiss another person because he’s a different color? Give me a break. And you have to remember, I’m from Dallas, Texas.

Katy Perry still gets me every time. She’s very funny in person! We met at the Teen Choice Awards and she pulled my cheeks apart and told me how cute I was. My life was literally flashing before my eyes!

Gujaratis are really cute people, and I find Gujarati to be a very sweet language.

At school where you a dunce or a teacher’s pet? All of the above. I was stupid so they thought I was cute.
