I don't think I would have been a good mother. Being a parent brings immense responsibility. It's a Herculean task. It would be almost too much for me.

My family said that I wanted to act even when I was a child living on a tea plantation in the jungle in India.

I never dreamed I'd like any city as well as London. San Francisco is exciting, moody, exhilarating. I even love the muted fogs.

Living in America, I became aware of many issues and went through a period of politicization

I was born with a need to be the center of attention, and, of course, you're the center of the world when you're acting

I think I've got something when I'm onscreen, but that's nothing to do with acting or talent

Most of the time I spent in America, I was having a love affair with some American or other. I was just passing through but stayed because of these chaps.
