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

I hope and look forward to the day that there will be a female president of the United States.

When someone asks me about my diet I feel terrible saying that I don't really have one.

I learned very early in my career that when I don't arrive on set, production will shut down, which means people won't get paid; there's that much responsibility.

I was very sure I did not want to be the stereotype of what Indian people are seen as, which is Bollywood, and henna. That’s all great! It’s what we are, and I love it. I love saris; I love music; I love henna; I love dancing, but that’s not all we are.

I seek out parts which are strong women. It's not the quantity of a role; it's the quality of a role.

A character is 2D, and then after I come in it becomes a 3D; it becomes alive.
