Today, I guess I give a lot more thought to the roles before I sign them.

When I started off, I didn't only ride to fame on my looks though many people I know think otherwise.

I believe that every role that I have done this far has had quality and content. My roles have been very demanding and every role has been a challenge and a learning experience that has helped me mature as an actress.

Even my parents are so cute, and they deal with every movie of mine excellently. They check with me ever so casually by asking 'Now how much of nudity are we going to see in this one?

I guess Species was a movie made for me and hence I bagged the role. In fact even when acting, I never thought the outcome would be so good which I think it was! The entire role was a challenge. I was to be this strange yet sexy thing which was challenging!

I think I have been very lucky as far as my acting career goes.

When you're doing some things that are damaging you, you don't really realise it at the time.
