Life's all about choices. Everyone's destination is the same; only the paths are different.
Sushmita Sen
Life comes as a full circle. It feels good when you become someone's idol.
I always imagine myself as a bride who will wear a gown, with a long train and veil.
People who try to tackle failure attract failure. The more you indulge in analysis, it gets tougher. So just keep making mistakes and learn.
I believe in everything. I believe that everything is an illusion, and everything is there to be believed in.
Everybody knows that I'm not the most beautiful woman in the world.
When my face starts to feel chubby, I know there is an issue with my weight.
I am from a middle-class family, and everything I have achieved in life I have only appreciated. I have never gone overboard because I have seen the other side of life. When you have seen the other side of life, you appreciate what you have.
In 'Biwi No 1,' I made you laugh. In 'Sirf Tum,' I made you cry. In 'Bas Itna Sa Khwaab Hai,' I am going to make you dream.
I have this very simple logic about life that it should not be taken too seriously.
I celebrate my life, whether it's being a single mother, wearing diamonds, or holidaying in exotic places.

I definitely have to know every detail of a script and analyse its potential before I think further because if the director is the captain, then the script is the ship.

I was born to two people who helped me imbibe feelings of nationhood in my heart and love for the country.
If something really gave me immense happiness, I will remember it for the rest of my life in vivid detail. But if something bothered me, or I regretted it deeply, I will move ahead from it and forget.
I Am She is an institution that reflects and personifies the grace, charm, and elegance of an Indian woman.
As a kid, I wanted to do so many different things; I saw my aunt as an air hostess, and then I wanted to be an air hostess. I found it very glamorous, but when I flew for the first time in my life, and I saw how air hostesses have to slog and how they have to work with everybody going 'ting-ting' and how they have to keep on running up and down.
What I really appreciate in my friends is that they really respect me.
The image is never created by you. It's created by the media, by the people around you. In my real-life self, I would be without make up and in jeans and a T-shirt. But when I'm outside, I'm dressed up. It's not because I enjoy doing it.
I don't work more than 8 hours a day. At times, people get angry with me because of this, but I can't work more than that.

Everything about the Net is wonderful.
I always dreamt of being famous, and dreams do come true.
I am proud of the fact that, despite all the disparities that do come up often in our country, we are still Indians, and I am proud of that.
I truly believe children learn by examples much more than what you can teach them verbally.
Ask a celebrity what social cause he or she wants to take up, and many would say utopic things. For me, however, the decision is very clear... I want to do something for children, a category of people I am genuinely fond of.
I don't want to bore people with things that don't matter to them. I want to share parts of my life that are universally true with other people.
When you see 'MHN,' you will see that the film is based on relationships which are serious, but there is a sense of humour to it, too.
Every baby step India takes in achieving anything towards its betterment enhances my identity and personality because I love my country.
I didn't get out of India till I was 15 years old, and I went to Malaysia with my father for an exhibition. And after that international visit, the next time I stepped on foreign shores was for the Miss Universe pageant at the age of 18.
Unfortunately, we all go through bad phases.
I used to touch up my pictures on the computer and send them to friends. I would change colours, the design, and stuff like that.
There's no mantra for bringing up a kid.
Every celebrity has his or her own personal life. When they go home, they have problems and issues, too.
Even the slightest deja vu are supernatural incidents.
I am very spoilt and want my travel to be smooth and peaceful. I don't like to rough it out, and I certainly do not fancy the idea of backpacking.
There is a very pensive and intense side to me that even I did not know someone could capture.
I put on weight easily and lose it equally fast.
I will definitely get married, but it is not that it has to happen at a certain age.

Life becomes easier when we stop aping people. Which is on all fronts, be it looks, body shape, or anything.
What I do gorge on is sushi. This is the only dish I don't mind overindulging in.

People who believe in science have a hard time believing in ghosts and the supernatural.
I used to find going to the gym torturous.
I am a Tintin girl and grew up on Archie comics. Then I was introduced to Mr. Bean.
For a woman who didn't want to be an actress, who is too tall, lanky, shy, and who didn't fit into a Hindi conventional heroine, I am overwhelmed that my audiences have accepted me in India and the world.
'Sholay' can be given so many interpretations. I have seen this film so many times since the time I was a kid that I think that there could be 50 lovely interpretations to this film. Different filmmakers can give it so many interpretations, as it's a lovely film.
