“You do a movie if it’s good and if you want to do it. It doesn’t matter if it’s small or big or expensive or cheap. If you want to say the words, you’re gonna say them. You can’t strategize.”

Money doesn’t matter on a deeply personal level. It doesn’t make you feel any happier. But of course I am very aware that I don’t have to worry about earning a living or about those very important practical things that most people have to worry about on a very real level.

I think it’s really important to have a life outside of this [movie] business and just be the best person you can be.

I think I really scored with my parents. All of my friends pretty much came from broken homes, and my parents are still together, but not only that, they’re still in love and still write together.

I’ve learned that it’s OK to be flawed.

I’ve loved making movies. I feel like I’ve been so lucky because I’ve gotten to be in movies that are some of my favorites, regardless of my being in them – like ‘Heathers.’

I’d always find the positive in someone.

You have good days and bad days, and depression’s something that, you know, is always with you.

As an actress, you want to try new things. You don’t want to repeat yourself. That becomes more important to you, as you get older.

I try to just pay attention to what I’m feeling. If something is scary to me, then that’s sometimes a good sign – although, sometimes it’s not.

I don’t use the Internet, but apparently you can find out everything on it.

For a long time, I was almost ashamed of being an actress. I felt like it was a shallow occupation. People would be watching my every move.

I feel my best when I’m happy.

I often get offered things that are so similar to things that I have done, and life is too short. When you make a film or a show, as you get older, that’s a lot of time to be doing something that you’re not absolutely invested in or in love with.

One thing you have to have when you act is energy.

In America, I don’t know how much longer the environment is going to exist. I sort of strongly believe that we’re in danger.

I’m not a drug user myself. I’m too little to take drugs – my body can’t take it.

Keeping up appearances is the most expensive thing in the world.

Louis Vuitton, the world’s biggest luxury brand in terms of sales, is planning to dampen its expansion worldwide and focus on high-end products to preserve its exclusive image.

Hope is an expensive commodity. It makes better sense to be prepared.

Notes are expensive, spend them wisely.

Once I got a guitar that was relatively user-friendly, but not super-duper easy, I really came on as a guitarist, at that point. It helped. It was a super-expensive guitar either, but something needs to steer you a bit, if you’re playing an instrument that is really hard.

The third rule of life is this: Everything you buy today is smaller, more expensive, and not as good as it was yesterday.

My girlfriend said, Just buy me something crazy and expensive, something I don’t even need! So, I signed her up for radiation treatment.

Our Bollywood stars who talk of being part of 100 crore films, I think I belong to the 1,000 crore club.
