I don't think people change.

Mostly, we create our own hells.

I'm not someone who chases illusions.

I have never taken stardom seriously.

I have always loved and admired women.

No talk show or game show for me, thanks.

The bottom line is to have fun and enjoy life.

I was determined to make it big on sheer merit.

Besides gardening, I love to sketch and to sing.

I am jealous of people who can play instruments.

It's important to utilize every bit of your being.

I have the ability to make my fantasies come true.

I don't know anything about awards, I really don't.

I don't believe in either selling or marketing myself.

True sensuality is something that is inherent or innate.

However popular an artiste may be, awards were reassuring.

I don't care much for success - it is an alien word to me.

I feel I have been born to affect people in a positive way.

I think what attracts a woman to a man are his imperfections.

My life is one big prayer because my life is one big blessing.

I believe in soul mates, in eternal love. Not eternal marriage.

Life is not perfect. I've had my share of sweat, blood and pain.

By nature, I am very simple. It's a very big luxury to be simple.

I am vegetarian, an eggetarian rather... because of its proteins.

What's the point in prolonging a relationship which has no future?

The audience will never tear Rekha and Amitabh Bachchan apart in their memory.

Bhanurekhan never wanted to be an actress. She had different dreams and desires.

I have no limits. There is no 'No' in my dictionary; nothing is impossible for me.

I feel that whatever God gives you, happiness or sadness, there is a motive behind it.

Every day is an extension of my growth, of every thing I've become and want to become.

When you savour and relish every moment, then you learn the art of preserving yourself.

I'm ready to try anything. It's not the length of the role or that I won't play a mother.

Forming a good habit early in life is very important as it goes on to become your nature.

I never hired a PR agency in my life, nor do I believe in promoting and marketing my films.

For me, joy is eating home-cooked payasam in a bowl that I have cleaned and polished myself.

I believe in doing what I want to as long as I do not trample over someone else's happiness.

I have never asked anyone for an assignment; never asked a producer or a director for a role.

My last two scenes in 'Yatra' were memorable in the sense that I had ample scope for emoting.

If you ask me to assess myself, I'm an okay actress and a good human being. But I'm not content.

I'm so grateful for every day and every moment, I ask myself what I did to deserve this blessing?

It was during 'Khoon Bhari Maang' that I realised that I can only become an actor and nothing else.

Coming to this industry was not my choice but I am glad it happened... I think it was well worth it.

Mr. Bachchan is one of the best things to have happened in my life. The best teacher, the best guru.

One thing is for sure I do not believe in dreaming and for me reality is more fascinating than fantasy.

I was called the 'Ugly Duckling' of Hindi films because of my dark complexion and south Indian features.

People ask me about the way I conduct my life. Sorry, beautiful music is conducted... Lives cannot be conducted.

I don't really want to be a goddess, or a diva or whatever I'm called. I just want to fulfil my responsibilities.

Whatever was given to me, I respected it, I valued it and I relished it and with me, the entire world relished it.

I don't think I need to stand on a podium and say what kind of performance I've given in 'Yatra' or any other film.

Lots of people feel that I am a fake. But I know that my smile and twinkle exist, reflecting the glow of my creator.
