Three cigarettes in, your body already craves it. It is that addictive.

I love horror because you can never just sit back in your seat. You always have to be on the edge of it.

I'm always envious of the actors who get to come to work every day and really grow deep roots there, but it is really fun playing lots of different characters.

Whenever someone asks me to name a dream hero or pair, I always end up getting Bollywood names in my mind.

I never wanted to be an actor. It was something I found a passion for; it wasn't there immediately.

It's going to be very interesting to see somebody playing me.

I hate running. I know I'm curvier - I know I'm small, but I'm not ripped. But I make a choice to be that way. I realize my arms aren't as toned as Halle Berry's but I don't want them to be.

I love playing Blair Cramer, and I'm thrilled to see what more they have in store for her. After playing this role for so many years, I still feel like there is so much about her that is still untold.

When I ask people what they think of when they hear the term 'cerebral palsy,' I usually get one of two responses. They either think of a smiling, crumpled child in a wheelchair on a poster or...

From the moment I saw 'Camelot' as a kid, the organic inclination of performing before a live audience is raw and visceral. Once you're out there, there's no yelling 'Cut!' or any such thing as a...

'Masaan' was a life-changing experience.

I'm a very physical person. I hug people more so than shake hands.

I never said Kristen ruined my wedding. At the time, when a million other things had fallen apart that day, I felt like she was one of them, and I was owed an apology. Simple as that. I now see that...

I found the structure of writing a screenplay harder than the structure of writing an essay. But it was definitely challenging to force myself to sit and write. I'm not used to having to force myself...

I used to joke that, since breastfeeding, my boobs looked like an old athletic sock with some loose change at the bottom, so when I felt a lump the size of a marble, I knew something was terribly...

I wouldn't wish overnight success on anyone. You have no real friends. Everyone works endless hours at different studios, so far apart. Even on your own lot, relationships were formal and often...

I didn't really feel like a girly girl. I didn't want to wear boob tubes and flared trousers and disco clothes. Then when punk came along it was like, 'Oh great, I can wear ripped jeans and manky...

I want to be like Robin Williams, really. It's all the different characters he does, all the different voices.

If you're not getting it perfect, life is still going to go around. The world still turns. It's going to be OK. Tomorrow is a new day.

It was really fun working with Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz on set.

But I prefer to go to comedies. Give me Julia Roberts smiling anyday.

I loved that it was about human relationships and then it was a mystery without falling into the trap of a thriller per se, because it pulled you in through people rather than through events or...

Either I choose to behave or live a life of someone else, or I choose to be myself and live the life the way I want.

Harlem is a very family-oriented neighborhood, and it always has been.

Neither do I have the time or the luxury of having a relationship. I don't want to get into fights with someone because I have no time for him.

It's hard if you start believing that you should be really that perfect fantasy ideal, that people start believing because of all of the retouching. You can delve into that fantasy world and play with...

I don't get jobs in films by auditioning. I'm not blonde. You can't place me in movies the way you can with certain actors. It's very difficult for my agents.

We boast about Pakistan. We say Pakistan is this and that. But when you go out of the country and the way we are checked, I can't tell you. I feel so humiliated the way I am frisked.

You can't form a character without being completely comfortable with who you are as a person.

An actor is somebody who communicates someone else's words and emotions to an audience. It's not me. It's what writers want me to be.
