I actually didn't mind school, and I enjoyed university and college.

Indian celebrities have the media and fans permanently outside their homes, and that would make me really uncomfortable.

A lot of the younger Indian generation are either IT geniuses or doctors - the number of doctors I've seen in L.A. who are Indian is just crazy. So it is a very common thing. Or an accountant! That again is a very, very big thing.

I'm proud of myself. I like the way I'm made.

More than anything else, if you can spend a great deal of dedicated time observing people without judgment, that can be a great way of learning.

I think the reason why I haven't done a film in India so far is because I haven't found a script that's completely gotten my attention and made me passionate to get it made. I keep saying I'm not at all famous in my own country, because people do not think I have done anything for India. The reason why I'm making movies outside my country, bit by bit, is to be able to come back to India equipped with the knowledge and understanding of how to hopefully produce my own films one fine day.

I am first and foremost an actress of Indian origin.
