“No one can guarantee success of a film.”

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.

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.

One good thing about acting in film is that it’s good therapy.

I wasn’t allowed to go to movies when I was kid; my father was a minister. 101 Dalmatians and King of Kings, that was the extent of it.

I think 2-D animation disappeared from Disney because they made so many uninteresting films.

I think I am still underpaid. I want to make as much money as my male counterparts.

I make films as a business, not as a cultural endeavor.

There are incredible documentaries that tackle the issue of racial justice.

Harry Potter is not twilight, you know; we’re not selling sex.

I like the anonymity that directors can have about their films.
