I've accepted that I was a failure in politics. I was not qualified for the job.
~ Amitabh Bachchan
Whatever free time I get, I love to catch news and sports shows.
I get up in the morning, have a job to do, go there, come home, be with the family, that's it.

Because you are women, people will force their thinking on you, their boundaries on you. They will tell you how to dress, how to behave, who you can meet and where you can go. Don't live in the shadows of people's judgement. Make your own choices in the light of your own wisdom.
The body is an amazing system.
I'm very thankful to directors and filmmakers who consider me in their films, and I hope I'm able to do justice to their films.

I did not resign from politics because of Bofors. I resigned because I do not know how to play petty politics. I did not know back then and I don't know now either.
Audiences change because life changes. Countries change geographically, climatically, socially and morally. Many things happen, and cinema, in a sense, reflects what's happening in the world.
I like to feel the butterflies in the stomach, I like to go home and have a restless night and wonder how I'm going to be able to accomplish this feat, get jittery. That hunger and those butterflies in the stomach are very essential for all creative people.
