The challenge itself is to exceed certain high standards you've set for yourself.

My candle-making business gives me decent money.
Akshay Kumar is more than a son to me. What I love about him is that there is never a dull moment with him. He is always up to some nonsense.
I read a book on candles and got curious. I followed it up by taking a course with famous London-based candle maker David Constable. And now these have become the passion of my life.
Hrithik Roshan is excellent - he is miles ahead of everybody in passion and dedication.
I like all kinds of music, be it old Hindi movie songs or English classics.
I speak Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, and English.
I was never a chiffon and satin person. I am always a cotton person. It's just the way I am.
I just love candles... the colour, the glow, the light.
When a successful man goes to pieces, his frustration engulfs the entire surroundings.
I have realised that it has become essential to promote your film. God forbid, if a film doesn't run, I shouldn't be blamed for that.
The biggest high for me was to marry Rajesh Khanna. That was a high, and I don't think my success was as much of a high as getting married to this superstar. I used to be a big fan of his; it was dream come true.
I love Priyanka Chopra, Kareena Kapoor, and Tabu.
Art is a beautiful world to get into. Once you are there, it is very difficult to get out of it. Like, once you start painting, you don't want to leave your brush and colours.
I'm not satisfied in the sense I am not looking for any roles, but I do make peace with myself saying that 'I am not the best in the world.' But I have tried to give my best, and I want to get better.
People still come to me and compliment me on 'Bobby.'
There are bathroom singers, but I am a bathroom painter. In other words, my art will stay inside the four walls of my house.
I will continue to give justice to do whatever I want to and like to do.
I don't like questions that delve into my personal life.
We used to take two years to complete a film, and sometimes, we used to be told on the sets that the scenes are still being written. Everything today is pre-planned.
Hindi cinema hasn't moved at all in terms of roles for actresses beyond 18 years.
I can do something for 30 days or 50 days. I can program myself, but I can't give my year for a shooting. No, I will die. I can't handle it.
Direction or even production doesn't fascinate me at all.
I am very good at comedy off screen. I wish I could translate it so that you could get to see how mad I am.
Our family was always together. Whenever Kakaji needed something or wanted to discuss some issue, he would always bring it up with us. Certain things happened that brought us closer.
If I am not excited about a project, then how do I expect my audience to watch my film? Give me good roles, and I will be working round the clock.
To me, Valentine's Day is not merely limited to a lover but speaks of universal love.
I often meet directors who want to cast me as the protagonist, but if the rest of the characters are not strong enough, the film is bound to fall flat on a creative level.
I never thought I would get a National Award. For me, it was huge, and I got complacent.
I was 16 when I got married, and I must say he was not a normal man but a very special man. There are so many things I want to say about him, but one thing which strikes me is that he had a DNA of a superstar.
There is certainly no formula of making a successful film, but there are means to make a sensible film.
I have enough to keep me going, and I love watching 'Bigg Boss.' I totally enjoy that. I don't miss any episode.
I see candles as varied things. They give a warm glow, and fire purifies.
I became a wife at 15 and was a mother of two at 18.
I think all my life's story is condensed in my face. It is neither innocent nor coy. It speaks volumes.
There is a future for English films. Don't we all talk, breathe, and think in English? If we can talk and think in English, we can also make films in English.
For me, filming is always like delivery pains.
I have never struggled, and I have never done anything.
People call me fussy, but that's a fallacy.
For me, antiques are a passion.
I was never a 'Mills and Boon' kind of a person.
I get attracted to different things. I have a different take on everything. I like to do different things. I don't like the regular stuff.
My journey with Rajesh Khanna was good, thrilling... a roller coaster ride. I feel honoured to have two children with him.
Women sometimes get so caught up in life... their marriage takes over their life, their relatives take over their life, and then they forget who they are.
I got more than my share in life; a little more wouldn't hurt.
I'm a very open person, and I am not ashamed of it being out there. It's part of life.
As a viewer, I decide when I see the promo of a film whether I want to watch it or not. No amount of marketing can convince me otherwise.
Actors used to concentrate on acting, but today they are businessmen, too, and think about the numbers game as well. They multi-task very well. It's admirable that they have this ability.
Where can I earn money if not from my work? We do some films for money and some for creative satisfaction.
People who know me know that I am very clumsy, always fumbling, and I talk rubbish most of the times.
