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

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

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

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.

For me exotic means beaches, palm trees and sand and frolicking in the ocean

I'm not usually a follower of trends - I like to set them a lot more. I don't like things that people have done already, then it's no fun for me to do it.

Flying is my favorite time in the world. When I'm sitting in a plane, it's amazing because it's quiet and there's no cell phones and no one to talk to you. It's my favorite time. I read all my scripts. I catch up on my movies. I sleep. It's the best. There's no one telling you, "Time to go!"
