I know I'm flawed - but perfect is boring anyway! Flawed is good!

The harder [role] the better. Definitely. When somebody turns around and says, "She can't do that," then that's the one I want to do.

I love dabbling in different genres, and I like being good at different genres of cinema.

I don't think a lot of people in America understand what Indians are. And that's our fault, a little. We tend to forget our roots a bit. As kids we think, If I'm too Indian, I'll be put in a box, and people will think of me as different. They'll think I'm weird, because I eat Indian food or my name is difficult to pronounce.

It's so stupid, so archaic to say that men are so stupid they'd give anything for sex, and women are...that that's the only resort we have.

I'm a tough girl, I know what my job entails - it entails a lot more than standing in front of the camera. So I get it. I won't deny the physicality of it is exhausting, and sometimes my body just can't keep up. But it is ultimately about mind over matter.

People keep speculating about my personal life because I am evasive about it.
