This man called President Bush has a lot to answer for. I don't know if this man is really taking care of America. This government has been shameful.

That's it. I've said all I've got to say on the world of James Bond.

It never felt real to me. I never felt I had complete ownership over Bond. Because you'd have these stupid one-liners - which I loathed - and I always felt phony doing them.

My mother was the prettiest woman in the town. He was a bit older than her. They made me. And he split.

I don't see myself as the Hunk of the Month.

For me, acting is doing.

Acting allows me to explore new worlds, to discover characters by delving into their lives, and ultimately to become someone else entirely.

There are a lot of funny things that happen in one's life.

We owe it to our children to be better stewards of the environment. The alternative? - a world without whales. It's too terrible to imagine.

I'm an artist, so I love the graphic design of Instagram.

Cancer is the most pernicious, insidious, disgusting disease of life.

I was lucky enough to make four Bond films. It finished in rather shambolic fashion, but I have no bitterness, no resentment.

My family is my sanctuary.

I think that genetically we're programmed to battle each other.

I just find that you can become a very boring person living in L.A. I tell you, living there on a day-to-day basis is vacuous: terribly fake.

Some people have a tendency to get knocked down in this business and sulk and whine, and they just create a rod for their back, really. You have to have broad shoulders and get through it.

I found a great woman in Keely Shaye. Not if I searched a million times over would I find one as good.

I paint landscapes, figuratives. I painted all my life. In fact, I started as a commercial artist.

To my eye, women get sexier around 35. They know a thing or two, and knowledge is always alluring.

It always helps to have a bit of prayer in your back pocket. At the end of the day, you have to have something, and for me, that is God, Jesus, my Catholic upbringing, my faith.

When I became Miss World, I couldn't believe I had won it. I used to sleep with my crown because I was scared someone would steal it. In a minute, the world changed for me.

With feature films, it's a one-time judgment once your film is premiered. Reviews, box office, and then you move on to the next project. With TV, you are being rated and judged weekly for an eight-month stretch.

To do anything with someone like Bono or someone would be like, you know, a milestone, I think, as a musician.

The writers are the backbone in television, like in film, but eventually, as an actress, I can bring something.

I've shot all over the world with crews from all over the world. The work ethic is the same. Bollywood is my career; it's what I do.

It's a terrible thing to say, and I probably shouldn't say it, but I'm a lazy person when it comes to physical exertion. I don't like gyms unless I need to for a movie or a part or a show.

Generalizing a type of people is really primitive.

When I became Miss World, movie offers started coming to me in India.

Yes, I play this evil, mean character Victoria in 'Baywatch.' It is so much fun. I didn't want my first film in America to be just another role.

It is in my nature to give the work I have all the discipline and due diligence that I am capable of.

Alex, who I play on 'Quantico' - that part wasn't written for an Indian girl. So they changed her background to make her half Indian and half Caucasian.

I hate the term 'Bollywood,' because we're not a 'me too' of Hollywood. The Indian film industry is prolific.

'In My City' was my first single. It has a very special place in my heart, and I am beyond excited to bring the amazing energy of the track to the NFL's passionate fans.

The acceptance of 'Quantico' so far has been really great. At the moment, I'm just straddling two continents far away from each other, with very active careers in both!

I can never be incognito... but I love it!

I've been doing a lot of work on female rights, especially adolescent rights. I've been to a lot of schools where the UNICEF had set up villages in India, and it's an eye-opening experience.

Education has always been very important to me. It means you don't have to depend on anyone else.

I believe in myself and my art so much. I've always trusted destiny. Wherever it takes me, I just work damn hard at the opportunity.

America has been so welcoming to me.

I think great skin is always important. With lots of makeup, by the end of the night, you look like you're melting!

After every bath, I make sure to moisturize my entire body. I'm obsessed with Diptyque: people love their candles, but their body products are also amazing.

One girl used to call me Brownie and tell me to go back to my own country. At lunch, I'd get a bag of chips from the vending machine and eat it in the storage room so I wouldn't have to see her.

Who doesn't want to be, like, five inches taller whenever they can be? If boys could, they'd be wearing heels.

You like someone, you court each other, you get into a relationship. You're answerable to each other. Whereas, the non-answerability of dating, my God, I don't know if I would ever be able to.

I've never dated; I've always been in relationships.

When it comes to an everyday situation, I am like an ant. I keep putting money aside because I know that if I want to splurge, there is a big mountain of money that I can use.

When there is a ring on my finger, which is actually given to me, then I'll tell the world. Till then, no one can claim me.

I have never had a plan when it comes to my career: America came to me with an opportunity.

When I was in school, you never saw anyone who looked like us that was on TV. And that was really weird for me because there's so many people of South Asian descent in America - in the world.

Black, brown, white, yellow - why are we always talking about colors? I'm a girl. I believe in a global community.
