I was more excited than scared, at the opportunity to work in an English movie.

Even when I was Miss World, I did all the dressing up I could, so the pretty face thing was done. But it was never about just looking pretty with the crown, I always wanted to make it more than that - I wanted to make it about beauty with a purpose. So I carried that into my films as well.

I'm not the type who'll yell about my achievements from the rooftops.

For me, it’s not about breaking big in Hollywood, but having interesting experiences.

Haters are a drop in the ocean. Theres that much more love

Right now, I'm following the Buddhist principle: Smile as abuse is hurled your way and this too shall pass.

Beauty is transient and changes with time.
