I am growing with my audience. When I made my debut, I was 24, and they have grown up with me. They are with me with each choice of mine.

When I was growing up, I heard horror stories about producers losing their houses overnight. No matter who the family is, hearing of them getting evicted is very sad.

I realise that women don't want to get treated differently but just equally. I don't know what feminism is all about, but I understand that women should be treated equally, and I endorse that thought.

I wanted to be performer; like, I used to dance at weddings. I felt acting was my calling, and that is something I wanted to do.

I don't reflect back too much on moments in my career.

I really worshipped Mama Cass a lot. Mama Cass, who was really fat and she didn't lose weight. Yeah, she went on diets but for the most part of her life and the better part of her career she was a big person.

One of the side benefits of staying in the closet is you can have a much bigger career.

The notion of being on a cop show was appealing, just because it's one of those tick boxes in a career.
