Whatever I do, I have to put 100 percent of my focus into it because I don't like to do a bad job.

Faking It' was hard for me to let go of because I knew how many kids it helped.

I didn't necessarily hit rock bottom, but I was working at Sprinkles Cupcakes and trying to make money, not wanting to tell anybody that I was getting a job because other people that I knew from 'Idol' were like, 'Why aren't you singing places and making money off of the Idol name?' And I was like, 'Because I don't only want to be known for that.'

I hate flying. I literally cry in the airport sometimes. I didn't used to; the more I fly, the worse it gets. It's weird!

Baahubali' was a film that was never done before. Rajamouli sir was my biggest inspiration because he lives in the smallest house and drives the smallest cars, but he makes the biggest films ever. He taught me the art of analysing your own strengths, and I take inspiration from him.

It was Helen Hunt who taught me to incorporate a consistent meditation practice. Her consistency - even when she was at her busiest and most public - was inspiration to me.

I've never been particularly aware of my age. It's like being on a bicycle - I just put my foot down and keep going.

Being one of my sources is exhausting. It's not one interview and you're done. I keep going back until I feel like I understand everything.
