“I love and really respect strong women. I’m obsessed with Scarlett Johansson and Drew Barrymore and Penelope Cruz. They are just really incredibly strong-willed, intelligent females in the industry.”

I may have had a crush on Zac, but we are like brother and sister, so nothing would ever happen.

I want to try doing sportier things, kite surfing and paddle surfing – I think it would give me that extra confidence.

Good boys are nice – don’t go for the bad ones!

My advice to kids is give it your all! Give it 110 percent and don’t give up!

I’d like to win an Oscar.

I try to not read about myself. I think it’s easier to have it out of sight and out of mind.

Do not just look at your boyfriend as just a boyfriend. Look at him as a friend, too.

I don’t go long without eating. I never starve myself: I grab a healthy snack.

I had my first real kiss at Magic Mountain on a park bench. Not the most romantic thing ever.

I love children. They’re so much fun and I would have a blast spoiling them.

My style is boho chic. I love that time period – the patterns, the prints, the people, the music, the vibe.

The second I met Zac, I thought he was a really cool guy. It’s hard not to have chemistry with someone who is so attractive.

A good amount of the guys wanted to date me. Even older guys looking at me. It took some getting used to.

The sweetest thing a guy said is that I look pretty with or without makeup.

You have to be able to love yourself because that’s when things fall into place.

I like friends who are honest and loyal. They also shouldn’t be afraid to be a kid. I like having fun.

The whole medical industry wants us sick.

Speaking of competition in the fast-food industry. This is rat eat rat, dog eat dog. I’ll kill ’em, and I’m going to kill ’em before they kill me.

My grandfather could barely read. My grandmother had a sixth-grade education. They were people who were industrious. They were frugal.

I don’t think you need any kind of backing here in the industry. I think what you achieve in your life is the result of your own talent and hard work.

Despite being in showbiz, I have a very real approach to my life. It plays off with my social life.

Even in India the Hindi film industry might be the best known but there are movies made in other regional languages in India, be it Tamil or Bengali. Those experiences too are different from the ones in Bombay.

While I believe that when you are in the glamour industry, you have to look your best, I also believe being skinny is not ‘hot and happening.’

Frankly, I’d like to see the government get out of war altogether and leave the whole field to private industry.
