'2.0' is an entirely new thing in Indian cinema, a movie to watch out for.
— Amy Jackson
I loved having Indian take-aways on a Friday night in Liverpool, but it's so different in the real India.
It is my job to step into different characters.
I've got Indian looks, but there is nothing in my background.
I was so shy, I couldn't stand up in front of people and speak. Now I'm in the next big three Bollywood movies.
I was always focussed on the modelling and succeeding in that, but now I'm completely focused on making it over in India in the movies.
I'm a huge fan of Nawazuddin.
I generally like to stay fit.
Thanks to having my dad travel with me, I don't feel quite cut off from my family.
It makes no difference to my family where one comes from as long as we make each other happy. They are pretty cool like that.
For me, age doesn't matter. You've got to go with your heart.
I won Miss Teen World, and then a movie rep saw me on the pageant website and thought that I had the perfect image for the role in 'Madrasapattinam.'
I am very conscious about picking my roles and make sure that they are different.
The negativity will always be there. I think that's for any actress or actor. But I think you've got to take it with a pinch of salt.
It has been crazy and amazing. I had never thought I would work with Akshay and Rajinikant and would get to associate with these talented people.
Every time someone buys a cat or a dog from a breeder or a pet shop, a cat on the streets or in an animal shelter loses his or her chance at finding a good home.
I went to the U.S. to start my modeling career at a very young age. So, venturing into films and handling the pressure isn't a big task.
For me, as an actress, you are playing a character, and to play that character, you have to get into that mindset.
A. L. Vijay asked if I could dance, and I just said yes. I didn't tell him the only dancing I had done was on nights out in Liverpool. He said he would arrange workshops and help me with the scripts and the language. He liked the fact that I was English but had an Indian look.
As an actor, I know it is my job to shape myself for a role - any role.
My mum is really fair and has blonde hair, and my dad is not dark, either.
I used to dress up in my older sister Alisia's clothes and thought modelling would be fun.
I got trained in kick-boxing and mixed martial arts. I enjoyed the whole process so much, and I'd love to do more action films.
When I first got a call for the movie, I couldn't believe that I am doing a film opposite Akshay Kumar. He is such a big superstar.
If you look from my point of view, that's what Christians strive for - love from God.
I use this method to bring emotion into my performance. I recite my lines in English first, and then switch back to the original lines when shooting begins.
I love being in Mumbai and want to continue being here.
I'd really like to make my mark in India.
I started with Tamil film, then Hindi. Now, I am also doing a Telugu film. The journey has been wonderful so far.
As an actress, I am very happy with 'Singh Is Bliing' because that was totally different from what I have done before.
I think, whenever you're in the public eye, you're never going to be loved by everybody.
My Hindi is OK. I think I am better with Tamil. I remember the Tamil words.
I feel more comfortable in saris than gowns.
I was new to acting before my role in 'Madrasapattinam.'
If people enjoy your movies, that's the most important thing.
'I' is bound to have an impact on my career.
I was 19 when I made my Bollywood debut with 'Ekk Deewana Tha,' and all alone in Mumbai. I would be easily affected by all that was said or written about me.
I was once so terrified of acting that I used to pretend I was ill to get out of drama.
I get treated like a princess in India. It is like a different world.
I had so much fun working with Akshay, especially in the action scenes.
I am all for healthy living and maintaining a fit lifestyle.
I am a Christian, and since the age of five I have been singing... chanting hymns containing the word 'Hosanna.'
You don't say no to a Shankar film.
There's competition everywhere.
The hardest thing for me was leaving my friends and family behind.
I am conscious about not getting typecast, but obviously I have to keep picking up great roles so that I don't get typecast.
You get people coming up to you and asking about movies, especially in Chennai, which is nice.
I'm getting good exposure because of the movies I'm picking and the people I'm working with.
We can stop the cycle of animal homelessness and save lives by opening our hearts and homes to a loving cat or dog from an animal shelter instead of buying animals from breeders or pet shops.
I have been away from home since I was 17.
