I hope through 'The Family Man,' I get some good offers.

In South India, the audience is more traditional than the Bollywood cine-goers.

The audience simply don't find a heroine picking a fight with 10 guys as convincing as a hero. So the industry always sticks to psychological thrillers and ghost movies for heroine-oriented projects and this can sustain only for a short time.

Of course, Malayalam has a slightly different way of working because here at least if the movie is good, it gets some mileage by word of mouth even if you don't have big heroes.

I am delighted to have won a place in both Tamil and Telugu film industry.

The tag of a 'National Award winner' earned me a lot of respect from a lot of people. I like that in a way.

If something nice comes my way, I will take it up. It has to be something substantial. I am not saying that I have to do films like 'The Dirty Picture' or 'Kahaani.' It could be something commercial as well.

I have dubbed in all the three languages - Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.

Lack of access to basic sanitation facilities can be a traumatic experience for girls especially during menstruation period and have an adverse impact on their health.

I am lucky that I am part of a prestigious project like Raavan.

I studied Hindi in school and that's come in handy.

One doesn't necessarily have to be grey-haired to portray a mother.

I've worked with Jagapathi Babu in four films and the two of us are great friends.

Fans are always going out of their way and doing so much, be it my birthday or any festival or occasion or most of the time nothing at all and there couldn't be a better way than connecting with them personally and giving them access to my world.

Shah Rukh is sweet. The experience to dance with SRK was lovely.

I have acted in all four film industries in the South. I speak all four languages because of my upbringing in various cities.

I don't think a heroine-oriented film has the capacity to pull an audience like a hero-oriented film in any film industry.

Shah Rukh is a chilled-out person and down to earth.

You have to be careful with Vikram around otherwise he would eat you alive with his acting!

I believe in voicing out your opinions.

Acting opposite big heroes has worked well for my career. Hence, I have decided to do films that have top-notch actors as people take notice of my acting talent too.

It is always great working with friends.

I have been getting some offers of films. But more than films, I have been getting offers for serials which I have obviously declined.

I'm not finding fault or blaming the industry, but the heroes have always dominated the film industry.

I love dogs and cats.

I'm not into cliches like 'no time' for love. If I find the right person, I'll definitely find time.

I did some glamorous roles and even wore a bikini in the Telugu film 'Drona,' but the audience was aghast. Some said, 'Please don't ever wear a bikini again!'

The Malayalam industry is down to earth and instantly recognizes talent.

I think women have the natural ability to do multi-tasking.

I started down South, that's where my heart is. But I'm open to exploring Bollywood.

Post 'Chennai Express,' I got several offers from Hindi cinema, but nothing substantial came my way.

'Chandi' was received well and my performance was particularly appreciated.

I'm always afraid to act when I don't know the language and it perturbs me during my dubbing sessions too.

I'm not willing to do heroine-centric films back-to-back.

Somewhere down the line, I want to do masala films too.

There's nothing wrong in sporting a bikini. If the director wants to shoot you in a pool, you cannot be wearing denims or a saree - you need to be dressed accordingly to the situation.

Sometimes in the mainstream movies, a character who is from the South is portrayed by a person who looks like a South Indian but speaks in fake accent.

I just love his creativity; that's what I'm talking about as far as being unique and creative and different. Kanye is doing it.

That's probably the key to our success and our longevity, sticking to our formula and what we do best, the hardcore Mobb Deep sound, rather than chasing trains. But we're always experimenting with the art and the creativity of hip-hop.

In the beginning, we might have been focused on totally just music and being famous, just wanting to have fame and make hot music, but as we got older, we had to understand that this is a business and that our moves need to be calculated.

Hip-hop basically controls the world through fashion, through music, through language, through culture. It's basically running the world, no matter what anyone wants to think, and that's just the way it is.

'Dragon's Lair' was real ill.

It took me a while to like Wu-Tang's style.

Music and physical activity goes hand in hand. Music and basketball, man.

I can't front: I like Kanye.

We didn't have any problem with 2Pac. We liked his music.

I always make hardcore songs, hits for the block.

I'm a creative person, and I'm gonna be creative, so whoever's upset because of that, that's too bad.

When we were making 'Juvenile Hell,' we were listening to the Jungle Brothers, Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, Biz Markie, A Tribe Called Quest.

I read certain things about history. I don't like fiction. I read about stuff that's real, stuff that's goin' on in the world.
