I could not be arm candy to a hero.

I want to be a star who acts as well.

I am addicted to watching cookery shows.

Karan Johar finally attained puberty at 42

At 45, I am too young to write my memoirs.

I only believe in making movies with integrity.

I am grateful to all the ups and downs in my life.

Sobriety has been the most life-affirming path for me.

I feel the sensuous side of Richa Chadda is ready to be tapped.

The constant craze of size zero and crash diets is not very good.

Actors betray. Technicians don't. Movies are made by technicians.

I cook as much as I eat, and I like the aroma that comes out of a kitchen.

I don't believe that a piece of paper can decide your relationship status.

My father believes that we create stars, and then others cast those stars.

You won't see me compromising just because it is convenient for me to do so.

I don't only cater a film to the male audience but also the female audience.

I love my flops. Look at my life: my failure that broke my heart made me stronger.

It annoys me that we glorify sex symbols one day and make them apologise the next.

I grew up in an environment where I could see the kind of havoc alcohol can create.

'Cabaret' was launched with fanfare, and the songs organically created quite a buzz.

Your film is a hit, you bathe in champagne; it flops, a single malt lessens the pain.

'Jism 3' has to be bolder and hotter in every way! Even the star cast is more diverse.

There are no bad actors. There are only bad directors who cannot make their actors act.

I enjoy production more than acting, as one is involved in many aspects of film-making.

Life begins at 40. I could attempt writing. Life is taking me into different directions.

No one is immortal. Don't worry too much about your life. Just sing your song... and go.

I am choosy about my films, period - whether it's my father directing it or anybody else.

It doesn't matter whose banner I work for. If it is good, then I do it if I want to do it.

We have German Shepherds, gifted by a friend, and the rest are street dogs we have adopted.

What supermarkets did to small neighbourhood shops is what digital platforms will do to cinema.

If you don't have a basic spend on marketing, there is no point releasing the film in theatres.

Bollywood is a great place. You can expect support for award ceremonies, weddings, and funerals.

I did 'Daddy' when I was 17 years old. My father, Mahesh Bhatt, directed the movie, and he cast me.

It's important for me that anything I lend my stamp to must have a perspective that is uniquely mine.

I don't leave things like recovery to chance! I have learned from the best, after all - my father and uncle!

If someone offers a film, I'm willing to do it if it's something I have not done before or pushes my boundary.

One thing I do not see happening is women of certain age being represented correctly. We have to evolve conceptually.

My dear friend Randeep Hooda says I am more a unionist than an actor. I reminded him I was a star and not just an actor.

I was told that since I am such an opinionated woman, people would think 10 times before approaching me for their films.

I have Scottish genes: my grandfather was Scottish. My father was a voracious drinker. So, drinking came naturally to me.

I decided to put my money where my mouth was and make films that I believe in. So even if I failed, I failed on my terms.

I got lot to do at a pretty young age in terms of emotionally challenging films. I did not do any fluff... fluff is not me.

I have always wanted to be independent. When I became a producer, people said I would not succeed, but I proved them wrong.

I am acting in a film based on Abheek Barua's 'City of Death.' It is a dark story that sifts through many layers of Kolkata.

If there is anybody who can give you a combination of quality and reasonable budget, innovative content and casting, it is me!

I'm no role model, but I thought if I showed my frailties, which I had turned around into achievement, I could help many others.

My gaze is very different from that of Ekta Kapoor's, and that is quite visible in those two films - 'Ragini MMS 2' and 'Jism 2.'

The problem that I find in 'MasterChef India' is that it doesn't look like 'MasterChef Australia.' It doesn't have that kind of mood.

My censor board is my own heart and mind. Our audience can say that the women in my films are bold or sensual, but never, ever vulgar.

I found my feet in my 40s: got divorced at 40, two years of drinking, and then, at 42, I became sober. My 30s were the most boring phase.
