“I am not a home breaker and I can never be. I haven’t been brought up to create havoc in other people’s homes.”

It is important to be well read, at least a little bit.

My professional life has nothing to do with my personal life and vice versa.

It’s unarguable that the right shoes can really add elegance to an outfit and to the person who’s wearing them. Take a pair of high heels, for instance. Suddenly, you’re looking taller, shoulders back, body curved.

Humor is most powerful thing that uses laughter as it base to chase your blues away.

I never really do much research before signing a film. It is just the script and character that I concentrate on.

I have always been in a relationship. I don’t remember the time when I wasn’t in one

It’s a political and manipulative industry. Actors vie for the same roles, movies are snatched away. Have I ever been manipulated? Yes. But I haven’t manipulated anyone because if you think from the heart, you cannot be calculative. I have spent nights crying.

Heroine’ is about a declining and imbalanced superstar – a very brave and bold role. I wanted to test whether I could carry a role like this. I have given 200 per cent to this role. She’s a very complex character, very aggressive, manipulative and bold, yet she’s very fragile.

Life is full of happiness and tears; be strong and have faith.

My co-stars call me selfish. They say you are only interested in yourself and what you are only interested is yourself and what you are doing in front of the camera. I reply, I can’t help it; it’s what got me where I am.

Actors are greedy. They can never be satisfied. I want praise as well as box office returns.

I am proud to be a vegetarian and I am against those who eat meat. Go green to be fit, that’s the best way for me at least.

You are as old as you look. If you are fit and pretty at an X age, why won’t filmmakers want to cast you, whether you are married or not?

Be it a village or a city, education is very important, and it always comes into you.

I believe in the institution of marriage and it’s like a tag to cement the relationship for your friends, family and public.

Ek Main Aur Ek Tu was a very special film for me. Imran and we complement each other very well. He is sugar, and I am spice.

To everyone who says this is wrong to feel like this say, ‘I was born this way baby.

To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child. For what is the worth of human life, unless it is woven into the life of our ancestors by the records of history?

Beginning, before it becomes a historical event, is the supreme capacity of man; politically, it is identified with man’s freedom. ‘That a beginning be made man was created’ said Augustine. This beginning is guaranteed by each new birth; it is indeed every man.

Just remember: I love you, and love yourselves. ’cause, little monsters, you were born that way baby.

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.

One is not born a genius, one becomes a genius; and the feminine situation has up to the present rendered this becoming practically impossible.

The length of the journey has to be borne with, for every moment is necessary.

We are all born so beautiful the greatest tragedy is being convinced we are not.
