You don't choose a film because it's made by a woman, you choose it because it's good.

French is a foreign language, but I've been speaking it since I was 18 so it's second nature to me.

People will now go to films with subtitles, you know. They're not afraid of them. It's one of the upsides of text-messaging and e-mail. Maybe the only good thing to come of it.

I think the sheer number of pop stars has kind of drowned out, somewhat, our interest. We're just submerged.

My body is a baby machine.

I do not want to pour out my heart to the world. I am cautious of what I say and to whom.

I think people do work too much. I've never been able to understand the whole 'make hay while the sun shines' thing. Either I want to work or I don't want to work.

If anyone says, 'Let's have a girls' night out,' I will run in the opposite direction.

As a younger actor you want to be approved of, you want to gain respect, be admired. All of those things. To say: 'This is me playing this character. And aren't I fantastic!' I don't feel that so much now.

I've realised that I am who I am and that is it. Like it or lump it. I'm not around to please anyone any more, and it's a huge relief.

Baths are my favorite thing. I can have two, three a day.

Life is too short to live on low-fat everything.

If you're feeling insecure and you need to feel special, the best place to go is somewhere foreign where people treat you as special because you're different.

I used to be so intensely preoccupied by unhappiness... now there are times where you might get down, but you can move on much faster now.

Playing a superhero isn't interesting because then you personify perfection, which is boring!

I am not destructive. I cannot do something for my own pleasure that hurts someone else.

I did my BMS from Bhavan's College in Mumbai and a post-graduate diploma in journalism and mass communication.

It will be great to live in a world where we don't discuss sex anymore because we have managed to go beyond it. And then we can focus on more important things.

People have to be pushed out of their comfort zones to be able to see things for what they are.

It's high time subjects like sex, and everything that it includes, are normalised.

Having worked with Amitabh Bachchan was an exhilarating as well a great learning experience.

My true satisfaction came when my parents told me that someone had seen me on TV and congratulated them.

It took me two years to just get my first shoot - for Shanti Amla Hair oil.

We were a Doordarshan household... with a curfew. So after lights out at 10 P.M., we could barely keep up with the latest films of the time. So even thinking about becoming an actress was unfathomable.
