“My priority is the script. Get me a good script, and I will sign the movie. I think I should leave the casting up to the experts!”

“I pride myself on my personilty and not my looks because one day, I will be old and crusty with a moustache, and someone is going to love me for my personality and not looks. So whoever is going to marry me is going to laugh till he dies.”

“I firmly believe that one of the best kept secrets to soft and glowing skin is moisturisation.”

“I always wanted to do a bit of Bollywood and a bit of Hollywood.”

“I am not saying one is better than the other. I enjoy both. But Hollywood is far more organised than Bollywood.”

“I don't consider myself as a glamour diva. If you get to know me, you will see that I am so dorky and weird.”

“I knew that all South Indian language films were first made in Chennai and that Tamil Nadu is one of the biggest film-producing centres in the country. I wanted to be part of films here.”

“You should never go on diet and must follow a healthy lifestyle.”

“My mum was born in the former Czechoslovakia, and even though my grandparents weren't wealthy, they were aristocrats in their time.”

“If I can still have Hollywood and a piece of Bollywood, I will take it.”

“I did a B.A. with a major in fine arts and a minor in psychology. I wanted to become a teacher or do art therapy for the elderly. But then I realised I wanted to travel instead.”

“In this hectic life, we have no time to take care of ourselves, hence massage is needed for rejuvenation and stress reduction. A lot of people are looking for quick fixes: like, they are taking medications, and they are doing other things which are not healthy. But massage is very holistic and natural.”

“I am not into marriage. You look at all the marriages breaking down and all the people cheating on their marriages, and you become cynical. Marriage is nothing but a label.”

“Because I'm in the public eye, I think that I would prefer to date someone regular who isn't in the news all the time, but I think even if you date someone regular, they'll still put it in the news.”

“When I was 12, my mum put us in a summer camp meant for children from low-income families. It was in upstate New York where we had to live in tents, fetch water, cook our meals, and even dig our own toilet bowls.”

“My life and my happiness is most important to me than any job or anything in the world.”

“I like to wear jewellery, even though I like my look to be minimalist. When I go out for events, I like to have at least one statement piece. It always adds glamour.”

“It's so lovely to know that people who you would never think know about Bollywood, they know about Bollywood.”

“I think I am feeling comfortable in Bollywood more than in Hollywood because I have spent more time here now and I am understanding a lot of things. I am feeling pretty good here. I really don't plan on running off anywhere.”

“I have vowed never to take antibiotics again unless I really need them. I also learned to pay attention to my body, know the difference between indigestion, an allergic reaction to food, a parasitic infection or worms. It's incredible how well I know my body. I really love that.”
