I seek out parts which are strong women. It's not the quantity of a role; it's the quality of a role.

It's okay to be you. You don't have to try to be anybody else. Whatever you are, however you are, it's fine. Nobody's perfect.

I think it's great to be flawed. I am hugely flawed, and I like it this way. That's the fun of life. You fall, get up, make mistakes, learn from them, be human and be you.

Mary Kom is a woman who stood up alone in a male-dominated field and fought for her rights and what she believed in. Her story is an inspiration for every young person out there.

The harder [role] the better. Definitely. When somebody turns around and says, "She can't do that," then that's the one I want to do.

I believe destiny and hard work go hand in hand.

I know I'm flawed - but perfect is boring anyway! Flawed is good!

As a girl, I am this stupid, emotional, very loyal, sort of believe-in-values-and-principals sort of girl.

I am a very private person. No one ever knows anything about me as I don't think it is necessary. I tell people as much as I want them to know about me.

I live with romance in my brain. I'm a true-blue Cancerian like that.

When I became Miss World, I couldn't believe I had won it. I used to sleep with my crown because I was scared someone would steal it. In a minute the world changed for me.

When we say forever, we are talking about a desire.

I was happy to be in England, because my mother had always loved the royals, and so do I.

Be the most enthusiastic person you know.

I had a fall out with Satan. Repeating satanic verses.

It's important to hold something back, though, because quite frankly my personal life is pretty dull and I don't want to bore people with it.

I read a ton of fiction - historical, contemporary, literary, commercial, I love it all.

In the book the relationship with Katharine and Almasy is sort of only in the patient's mind.

The sound of story is the dominant sound of our lives.

My God. Is there some unwritten law that you guys have to be giants? (Amanda) What can I say? Artemis likes her Dark-Hunters tall. Short men need not apply. (Acheron)

My skin burns where it meets his. It feels better than good, but it sets off a strange aching in my chest.
