Dance excites me.

Filmmaking is a gamble.

I am a dancer at heart.

Pure dance form is not dying.

I lead a very disciplined life.

I think I have aged gracefully.

We heroines don't get good roles.

I was very active during both my pregnancies.

I have great admiration for Atal Bihari Vajapyee.

I don't care what people think about the way I act.

Shashi Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan were good dancers.

I am joining BJP, as I feel very close to its ideology.

I just want my daughters and their families to be happy.

Huge crowds, numbering in lakhs, come to see me wherever I go.

With time, everything changes, and there is nothing wrong in that.

I am no more young. So there is no harm in playing an elderly role.

Spirituality is a great bent of mind. It gives peace and hope to me.

I would even love to do a Bengali film if a good offer is made to me.

People are dying to get a National Award... it's a national reputation.

When my children were young, I set my routine according to their needs.

When my mother was around, she would insist on celebrating my birthdays.

It's not that people will vote for me only because I am a Bollywood star.

To save and keep our country secure, we need a Prime Minister like Modiji.

In my constituency, everyone loves Modiji, and it will convert into votes.

God has been kind to me, so I really should not be sitting and complaining.

Jayalalithaaji was not just a politician: she was the messiah of the masses.

Esha can't have it easy just because she is my daughter. I have to be strict.

As for my favourite actresses, I like Kareena Kapoor and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

I want to impart my dance, my music: I want to make an institute and teach children.

Acting on TV is ruled out. I admire those who do it, but I found it quite strenuous.

Sometimes I act younger than my daughters. But that's when they say, 'Mama, stop it!'

Irrespective of your partner's mistakes, love must hold you back in the relationship.

Often I sit in the lawn and have my morning cuppa amidst the twittering of rare birds.

When I'm with my daughters on a holiday, I become one of the girls instead of their mother.

Mathura station must be developed in such a way that it reflects birthplace of Lord Krishna.

Every art form has its own beauty, but blending it with other forms in separate ways is okay.

Yes, I used to miss my childhood, but I did get a chance to relive it through Esha and Ahaana.

Money and other tangibles will come and go; they shouldn't be the foundation of your marriage.

Anybody cannot be a dancer. A dancer must have a certain posture, gestures, height, behaviour.

I do yoga and dance every morning at home for one and a half hours. Then I make tea for myself.

I find it difficult to speak in remote places because it is so hot and dusty that I tend to choke.

While families in South India are familiar with Soundaryalahari, I wanted others to know of it, too.

I step out for campaigning only after I complete my pooja at home, which is something I do every day.

I have always followed my passion to dance religiously. And that keeps me agile and youthful at heart.

We should train kids in the music and dance of our legends. That's how we can keep the traditions alive.

Classical dance forms and music are slowly going away. It is very important to impart these to children.

When Shah Rukh's film can make it to the theatres for Diwali, why can't my film release on the same day?

Darian is a Greek name, and my grandson is definitely going to be a Greek God, just like his grandfather.

Stray cattle roam every lane and alley, but we are building cow shelters and trying to resolve the problem.

Institutes should be named after these legendary artistes. Some institute should be named after Lata Mangeshkar.
