I was so self-critical. I still am, but it's not as bad anymore.

I know what my job is: I write the songs, I sing them, I play them on the piano.

I was never somebody who grew up going, 'I really want to be a singer in a band,' and I never had any ambition toward anything, really.

I'm incredibly impressed by people who organize to achieve a goal, and believe that they can make a difference and then go ahead and do just that. I think it's incredible.

In my own experience, I plotted and planned my life when I was getting out of law school to know by what year I'd make it to the Supreme Court. That didn't work out the way I planned.

I first learned how to do hair from drag queens. I learned eyelashes are the key to life, because they make everyone look fabulous.

I am taking my whole experience of working in 'Super 30' as fabulous, that a girl who started her career with television got a film like 'Love Sonia' and then could work with a superstar like Hrithik Roshan. I want to value this journey.

I think the most useful thing you can do as a writer is to reconstruct real life with all its color, hardship, joy, and intrigue. If you're interested in people, you honor them best, I think, by making the fullest possible picture of them. Your subjects may - and from my experience probably will - protest your portrait of them.
