“Most of my songs are written about movies or TV shows – they’re not about me.”

Do what you want to do, and don’t feel pressure to do what other people want.

I like to think, hopefully, people agree that I’m fashionable.

I want to be role model for people to be like, ‘I don’t need a major label to be a successful artist and to have a successful song.’

I’ve definitely had my fair share of guys being a little too much with me, and they think just because they follow me on Instagram, they know me.

I just love music – I was always singing and dancing.

There was a time in my career when I felt like I wasn’t being true to myself. I was being moulded into an artist I wasn’t, and I knew I had to do everything I wanted to do. I think that’s an issue a lot of women face, and men do have it easier in a lot of ways.

I think my fans inspire me a lot. They’re a huge part of my career. I wouldn’t be where I am without them, so I try to feed off what they’re going through. I read their tweets and Instagrams.

Every time I feel like I’m gaining a bit of weight, I’ll eat healthily for, like, 3 days. Then I’ll be like, ‘Oh, I look skinny again.’ Then I’ll go back to eating bad, but I tell myself it’s OK, I’m only 19, so I can do it while I can.

I’m very much focused on my career.

I feel like, with makeup, I really picked it up on my own. There’s no one really in my family – my grandma is probably the closest – who loves makeup like I do.

It’s fine if you doubt me. Underestimate me, because then I’ll just impress you, you know.

The song ‘Tyler Durden’ is about the movie ‘Fight Club,’ so obviously, it’s not a personal experience, but I love that song. It’s my favorite song.

There will be slow songs, sad songs, happy songs, songs about boys, and songs about being who you are. I’m making sure I’m happy with all of the songs, because if I am not happy with them, I can’t expect anyone else to be, you know?

I think it’s important for people to be themselves and express themselves through their makeup or their hair or their perfume or whatever it may be.

I’m more eager to have kids than I am to go back to college. I want to be a mom really badly.

I always make sure my lashes look cute.

Sometimes a director is making three films. Perhaps he is shooting a film in Madras and a film in Bombay and he can’t leave Madras as some shooting has to be done, so he directs by telephone. The shooting takes place. On schedule.

Whatever happens, happens for the better. I was meant to do ‘Raabta.’ Every film has its destiny, and it’s the film that chooses you.

Sex is not required to sell my film. My name is enough.

The trouble with a movie is that it’s old before it’s released. It’s no accident that it comes in a can.

I was more excited than scared, at the opportunity to work in an English movie.

I was clear about the fact that my first film should be ‘big,’ since it’s the start of your whole career graph.

Films are getting expensive by the day. They are making more money by the day.

I am happy making the films I make and I would like the West to be impressed with what we do from India.
