I admire Modi's leadership and his ideology.

The intelligence of cinema-goers should be respected.

I don't think about stardom anymore. I'm way past that phase.

I don't believe in the concept of working out rigorously to pump muscles. It may be effective, but when you stop working out, it comes back to square one.

I'm the kind of parent who asks my kids questions like, 'What would be your ideal thing to do in the summer?'

That's the most important thing you do in your life - raise children and try to do the best job as a parent and give your kids the best shot in life to go out there into the big, bad world.

I love my children, but I don't really want to talk about them. I'm not that much of a freakish middle-aged mother, I'm just very lucky, and there isn't much more to say. I'd like not to be constantly expected to be a spokesman for things that are part of the natural rhythm of a woman's life.

I love Sunday lunches with the family that start at 1 P.M. and finish at 5 P.M.
