The only thing that works is a good script!

Shah Rukh is as passionate and as enthusiastic as ever.

One thing I am sure of is that I won't judge a dance reality show.

I'm not a what-if and could-have person. I'm happy with my decisions.

Every film that I have done has been woman-centric, because I am in it.

I am anyway acting all the time with my bacche log (kids), so I do not miss it at all!

When you walk in a saree, you must kick the pleats. It becomes more comfortable that way.

As far as expectations go, you can never work for expectations. You have to work against them.

That's what the sari is about. Everything is covered, yet a peep of an ankle can be a turn on for men.

Hand washing is the first basic step towards achieving any millennium goals for development. It saves lives.

I love my body. And, I'm always working out. I'm an exercise freak, be it cardio, weights, t'ai chi or yoga.

I have a lot of road rage. Mostly with the rickshaw and cab drivers trying to cut me; it's the traffic. Grrrr!

I sincerely believe that no problem is bigger than man, and problems are blown out of proportion by man himself.

I do not want these women-centric films, or... what's that term? ...mahila-pradhan films as everyone calls them.

I'd love sloth. I wish sloth would come home and visit me once in a while. I don't consider laziness a sin at all.

I've punched a fan in the face because he was obnoxious. I've also pinched a child and made him cry, but I was 10 then!

If I read in a paper that somebody has said something about me, I'm going to take it with a pinch of salt; I really am!

When I was 13 or 14, my mother used to gift me books that I was dying to read. Those are my most memorable birthday gifts.

By the time you're 30, you know who you are inside. You learn to laugh at things you can't change; you learn to be yourself.

Everyone has the right to their lives and to look the way they want to! Tomorrow I can put on 25 kilos it's my choice, my body!

If you say one gets influenced watching a character, I think its foolish. Cinema reflects society; society rarely reflects cinema.

I won't ever direct a film. And I certainly won't write an autobiography. Only self-obsessed people want to write or talk about themselves!

I tell my daughter Nyssa, you should respect my work and I will also respect yours when you grow up, "Work is worship" is what I have told her.

I tell my daughter Nyssa, 'You should respect my work, and I will also respect yours when you grow up.' 'Work is worship' is what I have told her.

When I was growing up, hand washing was a ritual, but now it's a necessity. A child dies every 15 seconds from preventable causes, which has got to stop.

Oh God, my choice of film has never depended on the hero. In fact, you will see that some of my categorical mistakes had nothing to do with the hero in it.

I spend five times more money at a chemist shop than I would at a fashion boutique. Clothes shopping is optional for me; shopping at a chemist store is a must.

I'd say working on television is much, much tougher than films. But television has a great connect with a live audience, which is a refreshing change for us actors.

I think Shah Rukh and I have done essentially romantic films that had great contributions from everyone else, so it's not as if we alone are responsible for our hits.

I do believe in soulmates and happy/successful marriages. No marriage can be happy 24x7 for 365 days. Both partners have to make the relationship work, is what I believe in.

If you recognize a face while surfing through 200 channels, you will stop and listen. Celebrities give a positive aura and people like them. Their message appeals to people.

There are times when marriage is not such a comfortable place But you find your way; you become a different person. You grow into it. And you have to work at marriage every day.

My kids are in front of the computer 247 despite having all the parental control. There is no way to stop the flow of information. The flow of information is too fast and too much.

If I like something, I will pick it up from anywhere and wear it. I don't believe that only branded stuff looks good on you. If it doesn't look good in my eyes, I'll never wear it.

Financially, I do not need to work unless I want to, and whatever film I accept has to be right for me in the sense that it should justify the time I spend away from my husband and kids.

A good project but a poor director will always make a mediocre film, but an average script and good director can make a good film, as he will put in everything to make the film look good.

I wouldn't do a film like 'The Dirty Picture.' I have a husband and kids, and I won't be able to do justice to such a role. You need a certain mentality and ease to carry such a character.

I want to have a great director, and also a great producer and co-stars. And there should be a tight script. After all, regardless of how the film turns out, I must have fun doing the film!

I don't think any actor can be satisfied. I am still in the learning phase and I hope I am always in the same frame of mind when I act or do anything else. That's what makes life interesting and worth living.

Let's be realistic - 90% of superheroes are male. Personally, I prefer Superman, Batman and Spider-Man to Wonder Woman. Not that I don't like female superheroes, but watching male superheroes gives me a high.

My mother [actress Tanuja] has taught me that. It's 100 percent home or 100 percent work - I give complete attention to both. That's because I understand that work is not my life, and my life is not just work.

I believe in my privacy. I always have, and I always will. I don't think that my private life needs to be on display for me to get a better response at the box office or for me to get a better choice of movies.

I am a very strict mother, and as a mother, it's my responsibility to guide my kids and tell them to go how far and no further. There should be rules and guidelines for the kids, and they should know their limits.

Motherhood is an amazing feeling, and if you get to relive those special moments while working, it works as an icing on the cake. Kids have always been close to my heart, and working with them is a pleasure for me.

For me, men and women are different. A man is genetically gifted to pull more than a woman. But at the same time, I don't consider women to be any less than men. In fact, I feel we are far more intelligent than them.

The best thing you can do for your body is sleep. It's simple. Cater to your body as much as to your mind. Your body, after all, houses your mind. You have to pay attention to your physicality as much as your mentality.
