Children can only take so much, and they deal with it however they can.

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 did things like Shampoo and Heaven Can Wait. I don't know what those films were about. The women I played in them were not very empowered.

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.

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

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

I think there has always been an obsession with youth and beauty. What's missing is the equal obsession with respect for…older people…and their wisdom and knowledge and courage.
