I have done fewer films than I should have. No regrets. I wanted to be at home.

I like a slower pace of life.

I have realised that it has become essential to promote your film. God forbid, if a film doesn't run, I shouldn't be blamed for that.

I travel a lot; I go hunting for antiques.

I am a gypsy, basically.

I'm not satisfied in the sense I am not looking for any roles, but I do make peace with myself saying that 'I am not the best in the world.' But I have tried to give my best, and I want to get better.

There are bathroom singers, but I am a bathroom painter. In other words, my art will stay inside the four walls of my house.

People still come to me and compliment me on 'Bobby.'

Though acting offers would keep coming and going, and I would pick up only the ones that I find good, my hands are literally full with candles... I can't think beyond them.

I read a book on candles and got curious. I followed it up by taking a course with famous London-based candle maker David Constable. And now these have become the passion of my life.

I love seeing colours of various hues; they simply fascinate me.

I find it very boring to keep on talking about myself! Which is why I find giving interviews also very boring.

I just love candles... the colour, the glow, the light.

Direction or even production doesn't fascinate me at all.

I haven't been a prototype mother.

Hindi cinema hasn't moved at all in terms of roles for actresses beyond 18 years.

I have had so many gaps that I have not been consistently working, and the thing is that you get better with more work.

It takes me some time to get into what I am doing - since I am not a trained actor, I don't have that skill. I have to think of what I am doing and how it comes through.

I am a very lazy person.

Akshay Kumar is more than a son to me. What I love about him is that there is never a dull moment with him. He is always up to some nonsense.

We used to take two years to complete a film, and sometimes, we used to be told on the sets that the scenes are still being written. Everything today is pre-planned.

God has been very kind to me.

The biggest high for me was to marry Rajesh Khanna. That was a high, and I don't think my success was as much of a high as getting married to this superstar. I used to be a big fan of his; it was dream come true.

I have never struggled, and I have never done anything.

There aren't enough good scripts.

I was 16 when I got married, and I must say he was not a normal man but a very special man. There are so many things I want to say about him, but one thing which strikes me is that he had a DNA of a superstar.

Nobody knows the man behind Rajesh Khanna, because that never existed. In his last few days, he had told me, 'Pack up, show is over.'

I have done enough, and I am not dissatisfied with the body of work that I have done.

There is no role that I look forward to.

I think all my life's story is condensed in my face. It is neither innocent nor coy. It speaks volumes.

I never thought I would get a National Award. For me, it was huge, and I got complacent.

I don't want to push myself and am happy doing one to two films a year.

If I had to do it all over again, I would still get married at 16.

There was always a conscious effort on my part to do different cinema. It's taken time for the directors to accept me.

Films cannot change anybody's life. That's a load of crap.

If the audience likes your work, if they like you, they don't think whether you are married or have children or not. I made that quite clear.

Even men used to hide their marriages because they used to feel people will not like them anymore. It's the industry which has the false notion that an actor or an actress, if married, is not desirable to the audience.

For me, filming is always like delivery pains.

I am very good at comedy off screen. I wish I could translate it so that you could get to see how mad I am.

We're in a business where we need to look good. That is what people come to see. You have to take care of yourself.

I think falling in love with an older woman is not abnormal. It happens a lot in our society, but it's just that it is not accepted with open arms.

'Being Cyrus' is very young in language or grammar. I am not saying that these things can't be achieved in Hindi. All I am saying is that it would not be the same.

I am trying to do films that stay with me for some time. 'Banaras' stays with me.

I have enough to keep me going, and I love watching 'Bigg Boss.' I totally enjoy that. I don't miss any episode.

I can do something for 30 days or 50 days. I can program myself, but I can't give my year for a shooting. No, I will die. I can't handle it.

I do watch Malayalam films, but please don't ask me which are the ones that I saw.

I would like to do a role that has something to do with mysticism or even a supernatural one.

I simply love Malayalam films because they do great cinema, and there is a whole lot of effort that goes into it.

My life is full.

Life has to be a roller coaster ride. Otherwise, what's the point of living? Why should I make a song and dance about mine?
