“I’m not opposed to acting. I do like to act.”

You should realize that there is only one version of yourself in the world and that your flaws make you beautiful.

I hope it never gets to that point that I’m gonna have people around me that are using me. I’m very good with noticing that.

The most beautiful people are those who are truly themselves, and that’s what I want to show my fans.

At the end of the day, if you feel like you’re a good person, and your intentions are good, then that’s all that matters.

I truly believe that diversity is so important, and I hope that I can use my platform to encourage and inspire other aspiring female artists.

I have a very intrusive life, I guess you could say. I think that a lot of people know too much about me, truthfully.

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

A lot of people are really focused on me. I always say, ‘Why focus on someone more than yourself?’

It’s scary being in a room with producers and saying, ‘Here’s my idea,’ when I’m scared to get shot down.

I would definitely say I’m predominantly a pop artist, obviously, but my music is different. It’s not just top-40-radio-type music.

We don’t really have any big family traditions; just spending time with each other is the most important part.

I like when my freckles show or when I do shoots and they accentuate them. It’s such a compliment.

Dear Society’ really is my letter to society where I express the anguish I’ve been caused from such an image-based industry and culture we live in.

You shouldn’t feel unsafe walking to school. It’s where you should feel safe. Our parents should feel their children are going to be taken care of, looked after.

I’ve always had a passion for music – it’s a real part of me.

People say I’m too skinny, but if I gain a little weight, they say I look chubby. You can’t please everyone. As long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters.

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?

I don’t expect to win awards while working in films.

The title ‘Dohchay’ is very perfect for the film. It is used very well in the title track. If you see the film, you will understand it.

I could not make mistakes while choosing films when I started out.

Do we recognize the platform that Indian cinema has been given? Of course. And typically India of us, we gracefully acknowledge our host’s grace and we thank you for celebrating us and our cinema.

Just be nice to me while I am doing the scene; that is all. I don’t want big cars, I don’t want big hotel rooms.

I know it’s a big gamble, but I want to do good films.

If the film is a hit then everyone shares the success. If it is going to be a disaster then it might as well be because of me, not because of somebody else.
