Tamannaah

Out of sheer respect for the people I look up to in the industry, I do say 'yes' to projects at times. It helps me learn a lot. Also, if I am playing a small role in a good, content-driven film, I say yes to it. But there have been times when I said 'no' to films because I was not convinced with the content.

I don't want to sign four films at a time, as acting is an art, and art cannot be done without honesty.

To become a better actor, one needs to look inwards and understand oneself better. Then, you can create magic on screen.

With technology, everything is available at the touch of a button. But I'm not someone whose world revolves around trends. I like to be unique in whatever I do.

Pay disparity is not just in our country but elsewhere in the world, too. However, I do believe that there will come a time when it will change.

The world is small, and the film industry is even smaller. So, if someone does something wrong, you really can't hide it, and if it's good work, it also can't remain hidden.

I did feel bad when 'Himmatwala' and 'Humshakals' didn't work, but I have moved on.

It's a constant quest to push the bar and work in films that allow me to prove what I can do as an artist.

I am unable to eat what I want to and always work hard to maintain my body and looks. I envy other women who have a free lifestyle.

My personal dressing is inspired by my mood and mindset. I can jump from a girl-next-door to runway queen. I'm a T-shirt-and-jeans kind of a woman. But I also enjoy the red carpet look.

I'm not a hit machine.
