My family doesn't know what vacations are, man.

I always look at it this way: You try to create your own luck.

The fans in Montreal are great.

I get fat if I eat too many carbs. It's just the way my body is, so I gotta watch the carbs.

I'm a pretty personable guy, so I'll never shy away from a fan that wants to ask me a question or even introduce themselves.

Life is a chess match. Every decision that you make has a consequence to it.

Why do I have to just focus on hockey? Why can't I help people? Why can't I have fun with my fans?

Sometimes I think getting your mind off the game and doing other things can make you even better. Everybody's different. You have to find out what works for you.

What works for me might not work for the next guy. You have to work within yourself and know what's going to provide you with the amount of energy you need to do your job.

My job is to come out and help build a championship team.

Winning is the most important thing to me.

I always have something to prove.

There wasn't a day when I felt like hockey was work. I still don't feel that way.

I'm not trying to be someone I'm not. I'm not trying to become something I'm not.

I stay true to who I am.

People appreciate that I'm not scared to make a mistake.

The notion is tough guys challenge the bench and skill players never do. I'm considered a skilled player, but I don't carry myself like a skilled player.

I have no control over what the fans do or what the media say. I just do what I can - go out there and play hockey and have a smile on my face when I do it, just try to have a little bit of fun.

I am extremely choosy about my roles as I want variety; I would like to work with the best of people.

It's a misconception that an intelligent person can't act and I want people to discard such notions.

I am basically a theatre artiste. However, after stepping into cinema, I did not get much opportunity to act in plays.

The Hegelian dynamic plays out daily on and off the film sets - women are not lesser beings, but because they are assumed to be, they are subjected to inferior conditions. And this inferiority projects itself through the feeling of weakness and subjugation.

I hate flashy metrosexual men. I prefer a rustic man who will make a long-time companion.

Actually, I am a typical middle-class girl.

I am not against the idea of looking sexy. But I don't like women being looked at as mere objects of sex.

The starting point of social movements stems from deep pain and intolerance towards loss already incurred and hence any gain including just voicing the injustice empowers the movement and everybody else around them.

If the character you play on screen has to have life, you should dub in your own voice.

To create a new resume of films and expressions is the only focal point for 2014 for me.

In a crazy, high-pressure environment like a film set, eventually a peculiar kind of empathy develops for your co-workers.

Some years you have more work and some years less. That does not bother me. What matters is the end product.

Usually people are apprehensive about facing the camera for the first time. But for me, it was the most natural thing.

When you have a meaty character to play opposite an actor you like, it becomes a memorable experience.

My parents live in Hyderabad and I visit the city often.

I started learning dancing when I was three years old, and I started modelling when I was eleven years old.

I was supposed to do Beautiful,' and when I watched the movie, I knew that I had missed out on a great opportunity.

My entry into films was forced, and I always had an affinity towards academics. Having said that, it is the artiste within that urged me to say yes to acting.

In every film, I sport a different look for each character. It's almost as if my features change to accommodate the characters.

I've always been a part of theatre.

When you live with a character in your mind, after a while you start to behave like them, act like them and connect with them. That is how acting happens for me.

The state of Kerala and Malayalam film industry has been like a home to me ever since I started my career as an actress.

I do want to get into the government and work for finance management divisions and policy management, but they are all long-term dreams and I don't know when I'll decide to go for it.

Getting a Masters in Public Administration was nothing unusual for me. I have always been a person to hold on to my other interests along with my acting career.

If I had my way, I would have started my career with Hindi films.

Malayalam films just fell into my lap.

If I am offered a character that demands me to go bald, I would definitely give it a thought. I love my hair, but if the script is that brilliant I would take up such roles.

I was part of the Bollywood film 'Strikers,' which I would call a niche film.

I'm greedy for good films, and will test waters in new territories as long as I get to satiate that greed.

It's not only the story and the script that matter to me but also the people whom I work with.

I am not a person who wants to be in the limelight all the time.

All I want is to be a part of good projects and be remembered for that.
