Financially, I do not need to work unless I want to, and whatever film I accept has to be right for me in the sense that it should justify the time I spend away from my husband and kids.

I am a very strict mother, and as a mother, it's my responsibility to guide my kids and tell them to go how far and no further. There should be rules and guidelines for the kids, and they should know their limits.

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.

The only thing that works is a good script!

Everyone has the right to their lives and to look the way they want to! Tomorrow I can put on 25 kilos it's my choice, my body!

If you say one gets influenced watching a character, I think its foolish. Cinema reflects society; society rarely reflects cinema.

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.
