“I love playing a smart, ambitious, talented woman. Who doesn’t? That’s really fun for me.”

I’d be a terrible secret agent. I can’t keep a secret and I’m not sneaky.

I can hide, and my husband’s just terrible at finding me. I do like to jump out from behind doors and scare him.

Guys are kind of retarded until they’re about 30.

I’m not really a first-move kind of gal.

I’m a talker. I love a good debate.

A lot of children don’t find forever homes because they’re on that special-needs list, even if it’s because of something as simple as her mother smoked cigarettes for a month, not knowing she was pregnant.

It’s easy to be taken advantage of if you’re not honest.

I’m not perfect. But clothes help. A good bra with some underwire definitely helps a lot!

I want to stay in the moment and enjoy the great things that are happening.

I’m not terribly sentimental.

Of course, of course I’m grateful. How can I not be grateful? I have been afforded such a wonderful life.

I think that I always loved being the centre of attention!

I always assume I look better than I actually do. I’ll feel pretty good about myself when I leave the house, then I’ll see a picture and think, ‘Crap, I had no idea that’s what I was looking like.’

I spent so many years just saying what I felt without thinking about the ramifications, without understanding that I have this opinion but not everyone might share that opinion and now they don’t like me because of it.

I just ultimately wanted to be a mother. I love children.

I have my moments, but generally speaking I shy away from being too lovey dovey.

I don’t have any ambition.

I’ve got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom.

Finally I am coming to the conclusion that my highest ambition is to be what I already I am.

Secret of my success was to have ambition and know minds of men.

Challenge negative forces with hope, self-confidence and conviction. I believe that ambition and initiative will ultimately triumph.

Our dreams have to be bigger. Our ambitions higher. Our commitment deeper. And our efforts greater. This is my dream for Reliance and for India.

An average person with average talents and average ambition can outstrip the most brilliant genius in our society; if that person has clear focused goals.

The man who starts out simply with the idea of getting rich won’t succeed, you must have a larger ambition.
