One of the problems with being famous is people mob you wherever you go. Many of them ask very irritating questions. If I were not the shortest woman in the world, I would not have become famous.

There is a Bollywood actor, Salman Khan, and I'd like to act alongside him - whatever the film.

I'm not looking for a boyfriend - but if I was, he'd have to be prepared to carry me around everywhere.

The worst part about being so small is that I always have to rely on someone. I can't go anywhere on my own, so I'm always dependent. I can't run or walk too fast. If I was taller for a day, I'd just go off on my own independently.

Regular people should not underestimate people who are small. In every aspect, they can do the things that normal people can.

I don't like it if I am being held like a baby. If someone holds me normally, and I'm not being coddled, I feel much more comfortable.

Everybody loves me so much, they just want to carry me around. Sometimes I think to myself, 'When am I going to stand, because I'm being carried all day?'

I would like to be an actress in Hollywood and win an Oscar. The only difference is my height.

I am proud of being small.
