I was never a chiffon and satin person. I am always a cotton person. It's just the way I am.

My candle-making business gives me decent money.

When a successful man goes to pieces, his frustration engulfs the entire surroundings.

I see candles as varied things. They give a warm glow, and fire purifies.

I speak Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, and English.

I love Priyanka Chopra, Kareena Kapoor, and Tabu.

There is a future for English films. Don't we all talk, breathe, and think in English? If we can talk and think in English, we can also make films in English.

I know I'm blessed with good looks.

Art is a beautiful world to get into. Once you are there, it is very difficult to get out of it. Like, once you start painting, you don't want to leave your brush and colours.

I became a wife at 15 and was a mother of two at 18.

I have been a loner... even when I was working, you would hardly see me at any parties - unless once a year, if I have to attend some big function.

If there has to be one favourite actor of mine, it has to be Rajesh Khanna.

I can dress down, but I can't dress up. I'm not a great one for glitter.

Where can I earn money if not from my work? We do some films for money and some for creative satisfaction.

I believe that life begins at 50.

For me, antiques are a passion.

Our family was always together. Whenever Kakaji needed something or wanted to discuss some issue, he would always bring it up with us. Certain things happened that brought us closer.

To me, Valentine's Day is not merely limited to a lover but speaks of universal love.

Everyone has problems.

It is a pleasure if you pull out all your clothes out of the wardrobe and manage to fit into everything easily.

People feel I look younger than my age. I don't feel that way.

Hrithik Roshan is excellent - he is miles ahead of everybody in passion and dedication.

Being a creative person, I'm naturally drawn towards art of any kind. But I'm more attracted to paintings because they radiate an aura of their own.

It's always exciting starting a new film.

I really swung between the extremes. From the danger of being ostracised by the society, I almost overnight found myself as virtually the darling of the millions.

I think Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, and Ranveer Singh are doing a fabulous job.

Every life is special.

I don't get too much work to begin with, and whatever I get is mostly not good enough.

I was never a 'Mills and Boon' kind of a person.

I get attracted to different things. I have a different take on everything. I like to do different things. I don't like the regular stuff.

My journey with Rajesh Khanna was good, thrilling... a roller coaster ride. I feel honoured to have two children with him.

Women sometimes get so caught up in life... their marriage takes over their life, their relatives take over their life, and then they forget who they are.

The challenge itself is to exceed certain high standards you've set for yourself.

I got more than my share in life; a little more wouldn't hurt.

I'm a very open person, and I am not ashamed of it being out there. It's part of life.

As a viewer, I decide when I see the promo of a film whether I want to watch it or not. No amount of marketing can convince me otherwise.

Actors used to concentrate on acting, but today they are businessmen, too, and think about the numbers game as well. They multi-task very well. It's admirable that they have this ability.

People who know me know that I am very clumsy, always fumbling, and I talk rubbish most of the times.

I don't like questions that delve into my personal life.

I don't mind talking about my professional career, but I hate interviews if I have to answer a stupid question about personal matters.

I will continue to give justice to do whatever I want to and like to do.

I made my film debut in 1973.

I was lucky that my first movie itself established me as an actress.

I like all kinds of music, be it old Hindi movie songs or English classics.

I love driving.

I often meet directors who want to cast me as the protagonist, but if the rest of the characters are not strong enough, the film is bound to fall flat on a creative level.

There is certainly no formula of making a successful film, but there are means to make a sensible film.

People call me fussy, but that's a fallacy.

If I am not excited about a project, then how do I expect my audience to watch my film? Give me good roles, and I will be working round the clock.

I love playing poker, reading, and painting.
