I'm quite happy having stuff like quinoa, sushi, and even vegetable juices.
Quote by -Deepika Padukone
Comfort is of great importance to me. I really want to encourage girls to dress in whatever they feel comfortable in and not get bogged down by fashion trends.
Quote by -Deepika Padukone
You need to feel like you're wearing the clothes, and they're not wearing you.
Quote by -Deepika Padukone
There are days when I love a fresh blow-dry, but sometimes I just go with bedhead.
Quote by -Deepika Padukone
I'm not into superhero movies, but I love cartoons. Tweety bird is my favourite.
Quote by -Deepika Padukone
My effort is to slip into any role that is offered to me. The minute you go into those costumes, those grand sets, and start prepping up for the role, you become the part or at least start feeling the part.
Quote by -Deepika Padukone
There are certain things I talk to my mom and certain things I speak to dad for. But I also know that it has never been that I can tell my mum something and my dad won't know. They are very dependent on each other even though they may not say it or realise it.
Quote by -Deepika Padukone
I've not really watched too many English films. I've grown up watching Indian cinema, mostly.
Quote by -Deepika Padukone
I would like to believe that I am a collaborative actor. That's why I love all the directors I have worked with in recent times, as they are all collaborative directors. I think my constant desire is to keep bettering my own work. I don't get easily satisfied with my work; I am very critical of it. I learn from my mistakes.
Quote by -Deepika Padukone
When you work on a film, it's important to feel that you are starting afresh and doing it for the first time. Also, it's important to have those butterflies in your stomach; you need to wonder how you are going to approach the character and whether you will be able to do justice to the part.
Quote by -Deepika Padukone
When I realized I was depressed, then I started reading up about it. When I read that one in four people are depressed, I felt that I'm not the only one. I also felt that how many people must be feeling suffocated to fight this battle all alone. I just wanted to reach out and tell them that even I'm like you, and it's okay if you feel like that.
Quote by -Deepika Padukone
You can't create chemistry. In fact, the chemistry between two actors is for people to see, sense, and judge. The only thing we can do as actors is to come on board individually because we feel the same kind of passion for a script and for a director to cast us because he feels that, as actors, we'll do justice to that part.
Quote by -Deepika Padukone
When I finished 'Cocktail,' it took me a very long time to get out of Veronica's mindspace, behaviour, and zone. I had to reconnect with who I am. It is a similar story with 'Bajirao Mastani.' Some films demand that.
Quote by -Deepika Padukone
I think for everything that people say about me as a person today - whether it's about being disciplined and grounded or whatever - I think a lot of it is a credit to my father, who has been a massive influence in my life both professionally and personally.
Quote by -Deepika Padukone
I've always believed that as actors, one of the biggest advantages of being in the film business - not just of being actors, but being in this industry - is the fact that you get to travel so much, and you get to see places that you probably would not if you went just as a tourist.
Quote by -Deepika Padukone
I believe chemistry is based on the trust between two performers. What actually works is something intangible - being extremely comfortable in each other's presence.
Quote by -Deepika Padukone
I need to be loved. I need to be nurtured. I also need peace and stability in my relationships. I can't be in volatile relationships.
Quote by -Deepika Padukone
I'll only move in with my husband. There's no question of a live-in relationship.
Quote by -Deepika Padukone
I've not been in a live-in relationship. But I've been exposed to various kinds of equations that can exist between people. When I came from Bangalore, it was black and white. Over the years, I've realised that there's more to what we see on a day-to-day basis. There are all kinds of relationships, all kinds of equations.
Quote by -Deepika Padukone
'Piku' was driven by subtleties. Most films come with the padding of the sound, the visual, the drama.
Quote by -Deepika Padukone
No other aspect of filmmaking has tempted me to do a film other than the script and the story itself.
Quote by -Deepika Padukone
A script narration is like watching a film, and I react to it like an audience with my own instinct. After that, I look for what is my character, what will I bring to the table in that role, how challenging will it be.
Quote by -Deepika Padukone
I am not interested in churning out a certain number of films every year. For me, it's about the quality of work. I think it's about following your instincts and doing a film for the right reason.
Quote by -Deepika Padukone
I don't look at it as Hollywood or Bollywood, but, of course, my roots are here, and at the end of the day, it's about your roots. You can't take India out of me.
Quote by -Deepika Padukone
I guess I learnt to appreciate old Hindi-movie music from my dad and somewhere down the line picked up jazz as well.
Quote by -Deepika Padukone
To me, the mind and body are one. I'm very transparent, in a way, and people can very easily make out what mood I'm in.
Quote by -Deepika Padukone
I don't think I am a star; I consider myself like any other girl who is of my age. Others may be working in office and doing different jobs. Similarly I don't think I am doing something different... I am also working.
Quote by -Deepika Padukone
I try and work out as often as possible. Since I travel very often, it becomes very difficult to have a daily work out routine, but I practice yoga every day or try and play some sport. Also, I am very aware of what suits my body in terms of food and exercise.
Quote by -Deepika Padukone
I don't want to be typecast as a heroine who does a certain kind of cinema, which is why I experiment with the types of films that I do. But yes, I won't deny that romantic love stories or romantic comedies are what I enjoy doing the most, because as an audience those are the kind of films that I like watching.
Quote by -Deepika Padukone
I still live as normal a life as anybody else. I have two homes to run. I have my staff to take care of. I work, pay bills and attend society meetings like everybody else.
Quote by -Deepika Padukone
There is a strong side to me, that is of a homemaker. I look forward to spending time at home in the evenings, cooking a meal, chatting with my parents and inviting friends over.
Quote by -Deepika Padukone
My parents never raised their hand or fired me. Their way of disciplining me was to tell me what is right or wrong.
Quote by -Deepika Padukone
I was born in Copenhagen, and when I was a year old, we moved to Bangalore. I was always a shy person and was happy with just a few friends and that came from my own social awkwardness. I did not know how to make conversations.
Quote by -Deepika Padukone
I have always been focused on my job. No profession allows you the luxury of being half-focused. If you're not into it, you're not there. And the film industry is all the more harsh in these cases, perhaps because it's a business of the limelight.
Quote by -Deepika Padukone
The best feeling is when you are remembered for the character you play on the screen and people associate you with that character. There is no better feeling than that feeling.
Quote by -Deepika Padukone
At some level, I feel it is nice to know that a film of yours is doing well at the box office and has also got great reviews. That feels like success.
Quote by -Deepika Padukone
Preparation is definitely important, but it depends on the kinds of roles I do. Like, I completely identify with my character in 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani.' I had to be myself and I didn't have to actually prepare for it.
Quote by -Deepika Padukone
While I believe that when you are in the glamour industry, you have to look your best, I also believe being skinny is not 'hot and happening.'
Quote by -Deepika Padukone
Being a movie star isn't easy. It requires a lot of commitment and sacrifice. Your career goes through extreme ups and downs. You are judged all the time. Great things are written about you, but at the same time, not-so-good things are also said. At times, things are said about you that are completely untrue, and people mostly try to pull you down.
Quote by -Deepika Padukone
Yes, my life has changed in terms of the fame and the success, the number of eye balls on you all the time. I like to believe that it has not changed my ideology, the person that I am. I have people like Anna and my mom, my friends who tell me that.
Quote by -Deepika Padukone
The only day I will worry is if I stop getting exciting roles. As an actor, I have so much to give. There's a lot of fire and hunger in me to juice every part that I get.
Quote by -Deepika Padukone
I don't have an issue with marrying an actor, though it's definitely tough. I work with actors and interact with star wives, and I don't know how they do it. Loyalty is a very important factor for me, and I need to be in a relationship where the person will complete me and fill me up.
Quote by -Deepika Padukone
Food makes me happy. Make me work round the clock, but just feed me first!
Quote by -Deepika Padukone
Once the film is done, then I like to watch myself. I know some actors say that they get very self-conscious watching themselves on screen especially if they have to cry in the scenes, they don't like the way their face contorts, but I have no such issues.
