I have worked hard in the gym lifting heavy weights and doing a lot of exercises.
You hear peewee coaches teaching the 'trap'. What the heck are we doing teaching the 'trap'? Let the kids go, let them have fun; that's how you improve.
In my twenties, I floated around for years, doing the odd theatre job but mainly leading a hedonistic lifestyle, getting intoxicated in plenty of different ways in plenty of different places.
I loved doing Shakespeare. My two favorite roles, in fact, have been Viola in Twelfth Night and Helena in A Midsummer Night's Dream.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them what they can and should do for themselves.
Everything I've ever thought about doing has been, in some sense, about helping people.
I've seen stand up comedy, and after a while you start to notice that a lot of people are doing things that are like a lot of other people. There can be a bit of a herd mentality, and that's obviously less interesting because there's less going on. I'm just being totally frank with you.
My heroes are the ones who survived doing it wrong, who made mistakes, but recovered from them.
I don't want to be typecast as a heroine who does a certain kind of cinema, which is why I experiment with the types of films that I do.

I love Sia and how she hides her face. If I could pull off doing that, I totally would.

Doing science fiction at a high level is tricky. It's really tricky.
If you are not moving closer to what you want, you probably aren't doing enough asking. And you're probably not asking the single most important question that can help you achieve a higher level of success and personal fulfillment: How am I doing?
A man's conscience, like a warning line on the highway, tells him what he shouldn't do - but it does not keep him from doing it.
A lot of people in our generation like to make excuses about little things that really don't hinder them from doing what they want to. It always comes down to the work ethic.
As an actor, I am only excited about doing good work - be it in mainstream Hindi cinema, Hollywood, a French film, or a Marathi movie.
There's a real danger in doing a sequel. There are some benefits, but that all hinges on how well you execute. Quite frankly, most sequels don't execute well.
The director respects what they've hired you for and chosen you for: to do the part and respect what you're doing.
