Cancer makes you realise that you will be dead one day. It's so common seeing people dying and falling sick, but we aren't really ever able to comprehend it ourselves. The realisation that I am here for a certain period of time and will be gone after that made me value my time and life.

I love watching the sunrise and sunset and the sky, the birds.

I believe there is a time for everything. Time changes, and you need to accept that. Else, you stagnate.

For growth, I need to be challenged and excited about the project. I need to venture out into unknown territories.

I am very content being single. I don't feel the need of someone absolutely having to be with me to make me feel like a woman.

I was supposed to direct a film on Gautam Buddha. That didn't work out. A pity, because the entire script had been written. It was in English.

Work Written Work Out

I knew right from the beginning that if I was going to write a book, I would write my version of the truth and then put it out there for people to decide if they will accept it or hate me.

I don't take anything personally.

I wanted to be a complete person and realised that the well-being of mental health is extremely important in achieving that.

I like working with creative people who are receptive to new ideas, who want to do things that are different, who want to create films of a different mould.

I'll be very careful about what kind of energy I'm inviting into my life and whether it's going to be helpful for me or help me evolve as a person.

Life is full of risks, and often, you have to take them. Just don't be scared of taking one.

Manisha Koirala

I cannot digest too much junk food. I just have it once in a blue moon.

Manisha Koirala

There is nothing compared to the feeling of losing life. The moment when you are close to death is nothing but a profound experience.

Manisha Koirala

Even after spending a substantial time in the entertainment business, before the release of a film, I am nervous.

Manisha Koirala

I firmly believe in mind over matter.

Manisha Koirala

I've decided that whether I succeed or fail, I have to give it 100 per cent. That way, at least I know I tried.

Manisha Koirala

I'm a spontaneous actress, not a studied one.

Manisha Koirala

The poor lifestyle I had been leading made my body susceptible to diseases. Had it not been cancer, some other malady would have struck me.

Manisha Koirala

I don't have sugar and try to avoid it as much as possible. At home, I don't have it at all.

Manisha Koirala

One has to stay dignified about whatever is happening in life.

Manisha Koirala

I feel that 'Saudagar' was the best debut for me. I wouldn't want it any other way.

Manisha Koirala

It's not that I am a difficult person; it's just that I have certain strong likes and dislikes.

Manisha Koirala

I feel somewhere there is a fault in this whole mindset of not accepting the natural process. To age gracefully, to accept life with grace has more beauty and charm. But you have to be fit and healthy. And that is something we should strive for.

If you build your immune system, eat right, God knows how long you are going to live!

One of the many joys of being an actor is to understand the human psychology.

I love working with the younger generation.

Manisha Koirala

I think 'Ek Chhotisi Love Story' has really damaged me. People think they can compromise my reputation and get away with it.

Manisha Koirala

Truth of life is that in difficult times, my family was my backbone.

Manisha Koirala

I'm extremely unhappy with the projection of 'Tum' as a hot film. It's demeaning not just to me but to the producer and director.

Manisha Koirala

Whether I live long or short is not the question: what quality that I surrounded myself is!

Manisha Koirala

In the film industry, we work more on the basis of good faith and verbal commitments rather than legalities.

Manisha Koirala

We need to live our truth. We need to discover ourselves. And no matter how much you prepare for everything, life will always find a way to surprise you.

Manisha Koirala

When you have a good director, everything is taken care of.

When you're sick, you actually realize how important health is.

Manisha Koirala

Looks matter a lot, and it has always mattered. We always judge. I have not only been on the receiving end, but I have also judged others.

Manisha Koirala

After being diagnosed with cancer, one is in a lot of fear and anxiety about the anticipated pain and the painful treatment.

I am a foodie, but my antennas are always up regarding the healthy and nutritional values of food.

Manisha Koirala

I am a great fan of Rituparno's films and have always nurtured a wish of acting in his films. I was very impressed with his 'Chokher Bali,' 'Bariwali,' and 'Raincoat.'

Manisha Koirala

It was a wonderful experience acting with Prasenjit Chatterjee, the reigning king of Kolkata's film industry.
