I blame my grandmother for encouraging me to become an actress.

I mean, even my dressing room at the studio has candles and cushions and cashmere rugs and things.

Age is just a number. It's totally irrelevant unless, of course, you happen to be a bottle of wine.

I've spent years when I've not been in the limelight at all and I'm perfectly happy living my life without being swooped on by paparazzi.

The problem with beauty is that it's like being born rich and getting poorer.

But I have had to give up certain things in my life. One is shopping. Two is lunch with the girls. Three is cocktail parties, and four is studying my lines.

Make the best of what you have today.Today is the day.The best is here: now, it is always be at the present moment.

Three-quarters of India lives on the edge of the market economy. You can't tell them that only those who can afford water can have it.

I don't feel those limits when I'm on stage. For some reason, audiences let me get away with things. Remember, it's all comedy. Words. Thoughts. All thoughts are safe and worth exploring.

There's always an opportunity to make a difference

For those who are walking in their purpose, even the great tribulation will be a minor event. There will be far more attention on what Christ is doing than on what the antichrist is doing.
