“To make a breakthrough in Hollywood, you have to be committed to doing...” — Zeenat Aman Quote

To make a breakthrough in Hollywood, you have to be committed to doing it, which is true of anything in life. I was already a big star in India and I stayed with that.

A lot of intelligent women make foolish choices.

I think the world consists of yin and yang. There should be a balance, and it's important to coexist peacefully, with respect and dignity, and whenever those lines are crossed I think it's important for people to speak up for what they believe in.

I am not a feminist, I am a humanist.

In a vast and diverse country like India, a political party with secular ideology can ensure stable and progressive government.

I'll never be the biggest kind of star; I'll be like Bob Duvall, respected as an actor but a lot of people can't identify the face. I don't have the personality of a big star, or the looks of a Mel Gibson or a Paul Newman, or the style of a George C. Scott.

You have to wait for a big star to come in and generate interest on a project, and now that has become me, which is an amazing blessing.

I'm not gonna lie: I was not a big 'Star Wars' geek.

Maybe it's because I've been an actor for such a long time, but I think, unless you're a big star, you don't really have much control over anything. I've never been able to make any plans.
