Women complain about not having enough 'me time.' All it requires is a little planning. Once you plan, organise, and prioritise your life, things fall in place.

There was never a burning desire to be a top actress in the first place. I happily gave up my career to marry Mahesh.

I guess I'm making up for my own lack of interest in my career by being so keenly interested in my husband's career.

I believe when two people are in the same profession, they understand each other better.

When I was little, I always wanted to grow up to be like Jessalyn Kincaid and Vanessa Severo. They showed me how much joy performing can give you.

As I got older, I'd say probably when I got to, like, seventh or eighth grade, I was living in Atlanta, Georgia at the time, and I went for an open call for an agent, a local agent out there, a woman named Joy Purvis, and she ended up picking me up.

I always had an inferiority complex, like I wasn't good enough. I was shy. But dancing gave me so much joy, and I was good at it. I felt like a whole person because I could dance.

I look at my voice and my abilities as a gift. I don't feel that I can even take any credit for it, but it's such a huge presence in my life. It is my life. It's my identity, it's everything. And it's given me a great deal of joy and a sense of purpose - I can't imagine my life without it.
