So many people giving you so many opinions about how you look. It's hard for me to gauge what people are sometimes getting at. This brings up my suspicious side. I feel you just have to be confident with yourself. I feel topics like, "Oh, she looks beautiful today" or "She looks a mess today without her makeup"-that's always going to come my way, so I just think it's all about self-confidence.
I am very direct, to the point that I think I might make people uncomfortable! I do not know how not to be direct. I don't think there's time to waste.
Here's another secret - I have really big feet. I'm a size ten, so every opportunity I get I buy myself shoes.
I didn't really enjoy modeling in Bombay. I floated through it in the hopes that I would get my ticket to the next big thing. There was no real joy that I got out of it, to be really honest.
I think even the most beautiful person looks stupid on Skype.
I feel like this whole idea of wanting something that you don't really have is also very American in a way.
I tell you why I like Chanel so much: when I started off, no one wanted to give me clothes to wear. Absolutely no one! All the labels said, 'Who is she?' But Chanel believed in me from the very beginning.
I always imagined that I would learn something each time that I would take to a new project, then I realized that each new project poses a completely different challenge.
I find it very hard to say yes or no quite openly, because people are never satisfied. One day they write us off as saying we're not together and the next day we're together and getting married.
I think the reason why I haven't done a film in India so far is because I haven't found a script that's completely gotten my attention and made me passionate to get it made. I keep saying I'm not at all famous in my own country, because people do not think I have done anything for India. The reason why I'm making movies outside my country, bit by bit, is to be able to come back to India equipped with the knowledge and understanding of how to hopefully produce my own films one fine day.
Growing up in Bombay made me immune to culture shock, in a way. So, culture shock is not part of my DNA.
I love going into a country and just blending.
In terms of romantic films, all-time romantic films, I really like 'Gone With the Wind.' And I realize I sound so cliched saying that, but there's something so absolutely romantic about it.
I've never told anyone this before, but I'm an obsessive-compulsive. I go back to my hotel room every evening and put the coat hangers back in order and open my bag and rearrange it. It takes a lot of my time, but if I don't do it I can't sleep.
I've learned to develop a thick skin, but you're bound to be affected when you read something bad about yourself in the paper and it's rubbed in your face over and over.
I went to an all-girls' Christian convent school run by nuns. It was fun, but when I was 15, I said, 'Mum, that's it - I need to go where there are some boys.'
There's one disturbing notion throughout India that light skin is more attractive than dark.
I absolutely love London; it is one of my favourite cities in the world.
Indian celebrities have the media and fans permanently outside their homes, and that would make me really uncomfortable.
In L.A. you hear all these stories of people being filmed in their own homes through their windows. I think that is so scary.
If a cream can give you confidence then you really have to check your whole confidence department in the first place.
I actually didn't mind school, and I enjoyed university and college.
I don't think Bollywood is only mindless cinema, but a lot of films they churn out are not films that I completely enjoy watching.
I did not particularly enjoy modeling. I felt I was only utilizing 10 or 20 percent of my abilities. In India, it's just another job.
I feel being an actress is probably not half as difficult as being a mother, and I do not know when I will be ready for that kind of a decision.
