I have worked with the biggest actors from the beginning. I am hoping God will bless me to work with other big actors.

With Pakistan being in my blood, I would certainly look at opportunities to travel there.

I believe that, as actors, we have a phenomenal platform to spread positivity and influence people in the same way.

In a time where there are divides between cultures and races, I would love to use my position to show that we are all the same inside and working together is the key to moving forward.

I am an independent, educated woman, I make my own money, take care of my mom, and I am single, so I can do whatever I want, taking no one's permission, and that is the best part.

I was tall and skinny, and at 15, I was approached to model. I figured that models got to travel, and it became my ticket to travel so much so that if an agency could not fly me to another country, I would fly on my cost so that I could see that country and also make some money.

Uday Chopra is a person who will be a part of my life for the rest of my life. He is the most amazing human being who I have ever met in my entire life - not just in India, but around the world. If anyone is his friend, that person is lucky to have him in his life.

I crack jokes all the time. Even when I have a fight, I will make a joke, and people will laugh.

I've learnt some important lessons: I never rely on the opinion of one doctor alone. I do my own research; I read up and am ready with questions I need answered.

I've experienced wrong diagnoses and been given antibiotics for things that could be cured naturally. We may not think much of it, but it destroys our immunity.

I have vowed never to take antibiotics again unless I really need them. I also learned to pay attention to my body, know the difference between indigestion, an allergic reaction to food, a parasitic infection or worms. It's incredible how well I know my body. I really love that.

My mother is happy with whatever I choose to do in life as long as I'm happy, healthy, and safe.

I don't really know what the prerequisites are for Bollywood, but I do believe I can be successful in anything I choose to do.

My priority is the script. Get me a good script, and I will sign the movie. I think I should leave the casting up to the experts!

In Bollywood, they like to put us in short clothes. And I am very shy; I don't like wearing revealing stuff, though my image is such. Unfortunately, it's a body-obsessed industry.

I had to struggle with the language. I can understand Hindi now, but I still can't communicate. And things get lost in translation; I feel rejected all the time.

I feel like an alien. I feel people don't like me. People behaved strangely after 'Rockstar.'

My mum was born in the former Czechoslovakia, and even though my grandparents weren't wealthy, they were aristocrats in their time.

I grew up in the projects in Queens, and we were really poor.

I shake hands on the first date.

If I can still have Hollywood and a piece of Bollywood, I will take it.

People will still give me attention: even when my teeth are gone, I'll have some good stories to tell.

It's so lovely to know that people who you would never think know about Bollywood, they know about Bollywood.

My life and my happiness is most important to me than any job or anything in the world.

For me, life is about experiencing many new things and working with good people, working on good projects, and in general, just having any kind of job.

As a child, I did watch some Hindi movies at home with Dad, but I didn't know who anyone was. I wasn't interested, honestly.

It took me just three months to pick up Hindi. I guess I'm a fast learner when it comes to languages.

Don't be surprised if you find me doing some charity work in another country.

You need to train your brain to be positive.

I just do my job and go home. There's just one or two people I can say are friends that I can call.

Because I'm in the public eye, I think that I would prefer to date someone regular who isn't in the news all the time, but I think even if you date someone regular, they'll still put it in the news.

I don't think anyone could play me. It would have to be me.

I am a romantic, and I think dates are wonderful. I like quirky and fun things. Like going for a bike ride or for a pedicure together.

Keep your energy levels high by adding bananas and egg whites to your diet.

I generally fall sick if I eat very heavy food.

After coming to India, I have felt the loneliest I have ever been in my life. I don't have a support system here.

I miss having my mom and close friends around. Thank God for Skype and Face-Time, which keep me connected... but interacting digitally can't come close to the feeling of being hugged by my mom or getting together for a meal with my friends on the same table.

My motto is never to hold on to anything. I accept and then let go: not just the negatives, but the praise, too. Or it'll get to my head.

The fact is I have lost a fight, and I accept the loss from Allah. That's the way a real fighter and a real man goes out.

A revelation came to me at 16. All true princes must someday become kings.

I've got music in my head when I fight. I've got a certain rhythm, a certain way of fighting, a certain relaxation where I can let myself go.

When I get knocked down, I'm going to get up and knock you down - and I'm going to hurt you.

I'm blessed with a gift from God. When you're blessed, you have an advantage. You know you're not going to get beat when you're fighting with a gift. You're fighting with something that God has given you.

I'm going to smash Wayne McCullough to bits. And when you see him smashed to bits, you're going to see the same thing I'd have done to Barry McGuigan, his friend and idol.

With age, you become more humble, more wise.

I'm not saying I'm Mr Goody Two Shoes. I'm not. But if you try to rough me up, I'm going to body-slam you. I'm going to do everything I have to do psychologically to tell you that you are not stronger than me.

Who do you know, who could come out on a flying carpet? P. Diddy standing at the bottom, come out like a concert, dancing, oozing confidence, and then get in and take somebody out? Come on, do you know anybody in the history of the sport that did what Prince Naseem did? I ain't trying to brag, but I was bloody good at it.

When I was fighting, there was no boxing in Saudi Arabia because it was forbidden.

I found boxing so, so easy with incredible power, speed, and accuracy.

I came out out at the age of 28 and knew I'd had one loss on points, and the only reason I had that loss was that the fight was taken too soon. I lost two and a half stone in eight weeks, which was virtually impossible, but I made it, and I still got that big cheque!
