I sincerely believe that no problem is bigger than man, and problems are blown out of proportion by man himself.

I've punched a fan in the face because he was obnoxious. I've also pinched a child and made him cry, but I was 10 then!

I am mean; I'm nasty at times. I don't feel like talking to people at times. When I am in a bad mood and have had a really awful day, don't come in my face because I am not tolerant and I am not a goddess; I can't handle it after a point. I am going to get up, and I am going to scream, and I am going to say bad things to you.

I am thrilled that DDLJ has beaten all records, Shah Rukh Khan and I share a close friendship that translates onto the screen. We have such fun working together. Shah Rukh has a great sense of humour. He invests incredible energy into his acting. He reads a lot. I share all these with him. I love books. I love his style of working and abundant refinement. I love him to death and would like to work with him again.

If I read in a paper that somebody has said something about me, I'm going to take it with a pinch of salt; I really am!

I tell my daughter Nyssa, you should respect my work and I will also respect yours when you grow up, "Work is worship" is what I have told her.

I do not want these women-centric films, or... what's that term? ...mahila-pradhan films as everyone calls them.
