You don't want to watch a film for two hours that depresses you or makes you think so much it evokes a negative reaction.
— Sushmita Sen
I believe in everything. I believe that everything is an illusion, and everything is there to be believed in.
People who believe in science have a hard time believing in ghosts and the supernatural.
The image is never created by you. It's created by the media, by the people around you. In my real-life self, I would be without make up and in jeans and a T-shirt. But when I'm outside, I'm dressed up. It's not because I enjoy doing it.
Every celebrity has his or her own personal life. When they go home, they have problems and issues, too.
Everything is an opportunity for me.
I don't have any favourites, but I like situational comedies, not forced ones.
I try and feel good, and the only way to do it is to see myself in the mirror and to know that I'm still a single piece.
To bring up a child well, all a parent needs to do is be extremely honest with the child.
I used to touch up my pictures on the computer and send them to friends. I would change colours, the design, and stuff like that.
I'm pretty Net-savvy. My surfing time is precious.
As roles go, very rarely do you get a role written for you or a director who wants you and only you for the part.
Like a bathroom singer, I am a closet artist, but you need time to paint.
If you don't believe I'm a professional, do not sign me. And if you've signed me on a certain belief, don't question my integrity.
There is a very pensive and intense side to me that even I did not know someone could capture.
'Sholay' can be given so many interpretations. I have seen this film so many times since the time I was a kid that I think that there could be 50 lovely interpretations to this film. Different filmmakers can give it so many interpretations, as it's a lovely film.
When you have love in your life and respect what you do, you get up and do things. Yes, definitely I do feel tired, but when I look around and see how privileged I am, I get going.
When you see 'MHN,' you will see that the film is based on relationships which are serious, but there is a sense of humour to it, too.
Even the slightest deja vu are supernatural incidents.
I am from a middle-class family, and everything I have achieved in life I have only appreciated. I have never gone overboard because I have seen the other side of life. When you have seen the other side of life, you appreciate what you have.
As a kid, I wanted to do so many different things; I saw my aunt as an air hostess, and then I wanted to be an air hostess. I found it very glamorous, but when I flew for the first time in my life, and I saw how air hostesses have to slog and how they have to work with everybody going 'ting-ting' and how they have to keep on running up and down.
I have succeeded at times and failed at others, but I am here to do good cinema.
As a performer, we look for applause.
The Maldives is truly a paradise on Earth.
I always dreamt of being famous, and dreams do come true.
There's no mantra for bringing up a kid.
Sometimes, I check out film sites if a friend sends me the URL.
There has always been a softer side to Sushmita Sen. You might never see it, but there is one. And you will never see the 'real' Sushmita on screen.
In 'Biwi No 1,' I made you laugh. In 'Sirf Tum,' I made you cry. In 'Bas Itna Sa Khwaab Hai,' I am going to make you dream.
'Marmayogi' has a budget of Rs 110 crore, and I think only a gifted person like Kamal Haasan can do justice to such a film.
I don't believe what I do outside my profession is anybody's' business. And that includes a personal thing like pregnancy or even marriage.
RGV, as a filmmaker, is very smart.
Life comes as a full circle. It feels good when you become someone's idol.
I will definitely get married, but it is not that it has to happen at a certain age.
I have always felt that acting in a film is very challenging in itself. But when it comes to performing live, I think that is more challenging.
'Vaastu Shastra' has no shadow of 'Bhoot' at all. If 'Bhoot' was a 100 on 100, this is 300 on 100. It's that scary!
What I really appreciate in my friends is that they really respect me.
Celebrities are under pressure to perform all the time. You are in front of a camera all the time, and it is difficult to lead a life in the world of glamour.
I have tried different things as an actor and have always believed in experimenting.
I am a Tintin girl and grew up on Archie comics. Then I was introduced to Mr. Bean.
I definitely have to know every detail of a script and analyse its potential before I think further because if the director is the captain, then the script is the ship.
You have to be honest, even when you are upset with your child. Your intentions must be clear. You must never lie to your child.
Kids have a way of letting you know if they like something or not. If a child of five says she doesn't like something, it means there is a problem.
Everything about the Net is wonderful.
I didn't think of my job as wanting roles I want to do but roles that suit me.
I had earlier done a few paintings on Durga because I am fascinated by her.
Unfortunately, we all go through bad phases.
I Am She is an institution that reflects and personifies the grace, charm, and elegance of an Indian woman.
I have this very simple logic about life that it should not be taken too seriously.
People who try to tackle failure attract failure. The more you indulge in analysis, it gets tougher. So just keep making mistakes and learn.
