Nowadays, television has taken over big time and I'm really enjoying my stints there.
Quote by -Priyamani
I've worked with the likes of Ram Gopal Varma in 'Rakhta Charitra' and Mani Ratman in 'Raavan' - both these films released in Hindi as well. You need to have something substantial to make a mark in Bollywood and these movies gave me strong characters.
Quote by -Priyamani
Since I grew up in Palakkad, I am comfortable speaking both Tamil and Malayalam.
Quote by -Priyamani
Since my childhood, I have been watching Telugu films. It was always my dream to make it big here.
Quote by -Priyamani
I don't think I can marry a person who I don't know; I can't imagine spending the rest of my life with him. I rather get to know the person first and then decide, instead of saying yes first and regretting it later.
Quote by -Priyamani
Honestly, I understand that as an actor I should be comfortable with playing different characters. I am also not degrading those actors who are part of stories that require intimate scenes, but as an actress, I wouldn't be doing any scene that requires smooching and making out.
Quote by -Priyamani
I would actually say to all the parents to tell their children to start respecting people. And, automatically when you start respecting people, it will give rise to give and take. Respect starts in your own house.
Quote by -Priyamani
Glamour has been an integral part of showbiz from a longtime and the whole debate about exposing and vulgarity is blown out of proportions.
Quote by -Priyamani
Female actors' contribution to films are at par with male actors. So just because they signed the film, they can't be taken for granted.
Quote by -Priyamani
Moreover, there is nothing wrong in wearing a bikini or other skimpy attires, as many of my predecessors have set a trend in it.
Quote by -Priyamani
There's always an assumption that when the girls get married they don't want to work.
Quote by -Priyamani
You need to see what kind of offers come your way. Just because it is Bollywood, doesn't mean that you have to take it.
Quote by -Priyamani
It's not that I haven't been giving attention to Mollywood. Nor was I consciously going for glamour roles. The fact is that I got busy in Kannada.
Quote by -Priyamani
For an actress, the choices are more if one is open to the idea of doing films in different languages.
Quote by -Priyamani
My pay packet is reasonable. But I prefer doing films where I have a meaty role. The set-up of the film and the filmmaker also matter to me. For me those are vital issues that help me decide on a film. You never sign a film only for money.
Quote by -Priyamani
One day Mani Sir called me to his office and narrated the script of 'Raavan.' He then asked me how good my Hindi is. When I told him that it's quite good, he asked one of his assistant directors to talk to me in Hindi and I was asked only to reply in Hindi.
Quote by -Priyamani
No doubt an actress has to do varied roles. But I don't want myself to be typecast as an actress who can only do off-beat ventures.
Quote by -Priyamani
I have always maintained that my concentration is only on my career and on nothing else.
Quote by -Priyamani
As a matter of fact , personally I am ok with exposing, as long as it is done in good taste.
Quote by -Priyamani
I was labelled a jinx. No one wanted to work with me. I was home for about six to eight months without any films. I did modeling. In fact, at one point, I contemplated quitting films. That's when director Ameer called me for 'Paruthiveeran' and I cannot thank him enough for it.
Quote by -Priyamani
I'm happy I got to share screen space with established actors such as Vikram, Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan and still was noticed.
Quote by -Priyamani
Basically, I should feel at the end of the day that I am doing something worthwhile.
Quote by -Priyamani
Every second or third day I'm getting calls from people with new projects, asking me to listen to stories. But I don't want to do just any other project. There should be some zing to it; something new.
Quote by -Priyamani
I dubbed for the first time in 'Ko Ko' and I found it good as I finished it in three days.
Quote by -Priyamani
Actors like Anushka Shetty, Nayanthara, Samantha Akkineni are great examples to look up to.
Quote by -Priyamani
When I started years back, there was a lot of apprehension to don a mother's role. People feared that once you play a mother, you will get similar roles from next time too. But look at actresses like Kareena Kapoor or Malaika Arora. They look so hot in real life despite being mothers.
