Acting can truly take a toll on your nerves. I mean we have to be larger than life. Worse, I've seen actors acting off the sets too.
I have this whole thing that when God gives you more that you have imagined, you should give it back.
When you step away from doing something that you have always been doing and then you return to it, you have a different perspective. You get that desire and the will to strike at everything.
If I can be my crazy, wild self in front of a person, and he still likes me, that's romantic.
What I've learnt is never to work with the person you are in a relationship with because sometimes you need a break.
People will always have an opinion, but you have to live life the way you want to. It's very easy to tell others what to do, but difficult to implement it on yourself.
Just like a script, you need to keep a business plan to yourself.
It is superficial to fall in love with someone looking at their face. To me I need to discover the person. I would never look at someone and exclaim - He is the one!
You know what's the worst part about being an actress? It's the pressure to look gorgeous all the time and to behave perfectly. But I'm not perfect, nobody is.
I'm more grounded now. I've started doing fewer films. I've started meditating. I want to live my today because I may not have a tomorrow.
I never thought I'd be an actor - ever. I had never gone to film school or done a dance class.
