“You don’t see Indians in Hollywood films around which a story can revolve. As soon as we have a social presence in your society, I am sure there will be many actors from our part of the world that will be acting in Hollywood films.”

Being challenged in life is inevitable, being defeated is optional.

We had forgotten the art of using silence to convey emotions in our films and that’s what you seem to have mastered. You’ve used silence to great advantage in the film. It’s brilliant.

And music the best friend of your mind.

I sometimes lament the fact that I do not have the benefit of a complete and ailment free body structure.

If music be the food of love play on give me excess of it.

I have never really been confident about my career at any stage.

It’s a war zone, my body, and one which has been through a great deal.

I am not as intelligent as Aamir Khan . I am barely managing to be in front of the camera. There are many people who know marketing well and surely Aamir knows much more than I do.

The world is no more what it was in the times of quiet love… Everything is called Status nowadays and it goes on the internet like a rule.

Riding a Harley is a world of its own.

I don’t use any techniques; I’m not trained to be an actor. I just enjoy working in films.

It’s nothing really. It’s the unique presentation that makes me look good in the action scenes. Why did I dare do them? That’s a funny question! Why do I act? Why do I breathe!

The best part about being a superstar is that you can wear the most outrageous of clothes and they say ‘it’s in!’

Everyone must accept that we will age and age is not always flattering.

The only person you have to face in the morning is yourself.

The average Hollywood film star’s ambition is to be admired by an American, courted by an Italian, married to an Englishman and have a French boyfriend.

I thought I should forget Hollywood and go back to Hong Kong. I’m so lucky that finally Hollywood accepts my comedy fighting.

Hollywood likes to label everyone so you’re easier to identify.

I have to make my bones with Hollywood to get in. And when I do maybe I’ll metamorphose from Mr. Muscles or whatever it is I am now and become an irascible tosser.

In the past when I was in Hollywood, I was like a dog. I felt humiliated. My English was not good. People would even ask me ‘Jackie Who?’.

I must have seen more sunrises than any other actress in the history of Hollywood.

Hollywood – that’s a place where love is viewed both pragmatically and philosophically in the saying, ‘Tis better to have loved and divorced than never to have had any publicity at all.

Hollywood is a strange place if you’re in trouble. Everybody thinks it’s contagious.
