It's not that I am a difficult person; it's just that I have certain strong likes and dislikes.

I feel that 'Saudagar' was the best debut for me. I wouldn't want it any other way.

One has to stay dignified about whatever is happening in life.

I don't have sugar and try to avoid it as much as possible. At home, I don't have it at all.

The poor lifestyle I had been leading made my body susceptible to diseases. Had it not been cancer, some other malady would have struck me.

I'm a spontaneous actress, not a studied one.

I've decided that whether I succeed or fail, I have to give it 100 per cent. That way, at least I know I tried.

I firmly believe in mind over matter.

Even after spending a substantial time in the entertainment business, before the release of a film, I am nervous.

There is nothing compared to the feeling of losing life. The moment when you are close to death is nothing but a profound experience.

I cannot digest too much junk food. I just have it once in a blue moon.

Life is full of risks, and often, you have to take them. Just don't be scared of taking one.

I'll be very careful about what kind of energy I'm inviting into my life and whether it's going to be helpful for me or help me evolve as a person.

I like working with creative people who are receptive to new ideas, who want to do things that are different, who want to create films of a different mould.

I came from an affluent family, am well-known and well-read.

I wanted to be a complete person and realised that the well-being of mental health is extremely important in achieving that.

I don't take anything personally.

I knew right from the beginning that if I was going to write a book, I would write my version of the truth and then put it out there for people to decide if they will accept it or hate me.

I was supposed to direct a film on Gautam Buddha. That didn't work out. A pity, because the entire script had been written. It was in English.

Cancer makes you realise that you will be dead one day. It's so common seeing people dying and falling sick, but we aren't really ever able to comprehend it ourselves. The realisation that I am here for a certain period of time and will be gone after that made me value my time and life.

Being a woman, I want to look pretty in every phase of my life.

I am very content being single. I don't feel the need of someone absolutely having to be with me to make me feel like a woman.

For growth, I need to be challenged and excited about the project. I need to venture out into unknown territories.

What we get at home is 100% organic food. We are also 90% vegetarian.
