“We need not be afraid to touch, to feel, to show emotion. The easiest thing in the world is to be what you are, what you feel. The hardest thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don’t let them put you in that position.”

“You could feel things or you could find a way to shut down. But once you were feeling things, you couldn’t decide exactly what to feel. That was the trouble with letting them in at all. They made a mess of the place.”

“Don’t ever let someone make you feel like you’re crazy for wanting what you deserve.”

“And I think that that’s one of the best things you can give somebody – the chance to show them what it feels like to make other people get excited and happy.”

“I think the emotions that they truly feel within them and what they try to show to others, the mask that they put on, is different.”

“The hardest thing about being famous is that people are always nice to you. You're in a conversation and everybody's agreeing with what you're saying—even if you say something totally crazy. You need people who can tell you what you don't want to hear.”

“Don’t worry that you aren’t giving people what they want. Give them who you are, and let that be enough.”

“Sometimes the things we want most are the hardest to get. That means you need to be even more determined to succeed. That's what it takes to be a winner. You have to want it bad enough to stick with it no matter how tough things get.”

“When you negate the negative that someone thinks or feels with the positive, you are denying them the authentic support they need to deal with what they are facing.”

“I think being a woman celebrity is the hardest thing in India…. People will ask many things, what you wear, how you speak, when you will have a baby and other things.”
