“I dread shooting with animals. I hope I never get a script with snakes.”

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.

Tone matters more than words.

Learning should never stop.

Sucking up to a director means you are unsure of your talents. I’m not.

I am now in a position to choose roles. I did not have so many offers before ‘Queen,’ but now things have changed a lot.

I write poems, I meditate. I don’t live up to people’s expectations. I don’t do the conventional cool things – I know I am the coolest person.

I come from a middle class family, and my parents weren’t too supportive of my career choices.

Many people are insecure of many people.

What we do to animals, we do to ourselves.

I think it’s time we take a step back and recognize that while we are hurting our animals, we are hurting each other, and we are hurting our planet.

Animals don’t even try to look any different from what nature intended. They humbly wear their shells, scales, spines, plumes, pelts, and down. The conscious impulse to change one’s appearance is found only among humans.

What we do to animals directly impacts everything, because we are all connected. It disrupts the food chain, it funds terrorism (ivory), it changes our climate, our oceans, it starts wars.

Dying – you can’t do that to a cat.

For a country without a past is nothing, a word That, hardly spoken, loses its meaning, A perishable wall destroyed by flame, An echo of animal emotions.

Man, one may say, was never in such a completely animal condition; but he has, on the other hand, never escaped from it.

We are here because there are things that need our help. Like the planet. Like each other. Like animals. The world is like a garden, and we are its protectors.
