I'm happy to work in Malayalam.
— Keerthy Suresh
I am not concentrating on any industry but just taking up good offers, which gives me scope to perform.
My collections are a reflection of my personality, and the satisfaction I get from wearing my own designs is indescribable.
The idea is to choose good roles and good movies. I don't want to act simply to remain in the industry, nor am I here to do glamour roles.
Whenever someone asks me to name a dream hero or pair, I always end up getting Bollywood names in my mind.
Fashion designing involves a lot of work, and, as opposed to the general perception, it is different from costume designing for films. While a fashion designer can take up a costume designer's role, it is not possible vice versa.
After my schooling, I was not thrilled by the idea of treading the usual doctor-engineer line. I wanted to pursue something artistic, and I was good at drawing. The options before me were architecture, fashion, and interior designing.
If I am offered good roles, I will definitely be back in Malayalam, anytime.
I studied in Kerala, so learnt to read and write Malayalam.
I always believe in the projects I do.
I'd like a balance of class and mass films.
I don't think about my past or future.
I believe each actor is versatile and different, so you can't compare them.
I have never behaved like a star kid, and since a lot of people in the Tamil and Malayalam film industries know my parents, they treat me like their own child.
My family is very conservative.
Luckily, neither in my Tamil nor in my Telugu movies do I have roles that require exaggerated emoting.
It was a great experience to work with director A. L. Vijay.
It gives me a lot of joy when I wear my design at a show and someone asks me who designed my costume.
I'm the greatest critic of my work.
When I tell people that I am acting in Telugu, they ask me if I have to overact.
I had trained a bit in Bharatanatyam in the past but did not learn in depth. The same goes with jazz, western, and cinematic dance, as I was quite laid back with the training.
My parents themselves had a love marriage.
In Tamil, the actors have to take care of themselves quite well and that is something I am all set to be serious about.
The modern girl I played in 'Idhu'... came quite naturally to me.
I like to prepare for my roles well, so you can call me a method actor to an extent.
I don't take up too many projects at a time. I choose with care. I guess that clarity comes because my parents are from the industry.
I always wanted to act, but not because my parents were associated with the industry.
More than comparing with somebody else, I'd prefer comparing my own work from film to film.
I have never wanted to leave Malayalam films.
Whatever big movie I work in, ultimately my concern is my personality. I make sure that I keep it up.
I don't have the time to design my own costumes, but I do give suggestions and style tips.
I've never been jealous of any girl in my life, but while shooting for 'Remo,' I was 'really jealous' of Sivakarthikeyan. The day I saw him in his pretty nurse look, I knew that he's going to steal the show.
If I get to do only 10 roles, then I should be remembered for all the ten roles.
Going to a theatre and watching yourself on the big screen is a nightmare.
I can speak Tamil fluently, and the sentence structures in Telugu are quite similar.
I would love to grab roles like the ones my mom did in 'Oppol' or the role Kangana Ranaut played in 'Queen.'
Tamil industry has been offering me wonderful roles, and that is what keeps me here.
I am quite a dreamer, and usually when someone tells a story, I tend to get distracted easily.
Even though my earlier film 'Idhu Yenna Mayam' didn't do well, I got a lot of good feedback.
I don't want to be part of movies where I just sing and dance and go away.
I don't know if I am going to become an A-lister tomorrow.
All I need to worry about is have I done better than my previous film or not.
I always wanted to be an actress, but my parents were adamant that I complete my studies first before I take up acting.
Someday I will get married, and I should be able to watch my films with my children, mother-in-law, and father-in-law.
