I'm not insecure. Give me a good role, and I'll perform even for a multi-starrer with half a dozen other heroines!

Had acting not taken off, I would've been glad to become a teacher.

When I first heard the 'Urumi' script, I was surprised, shocked, and excited. It was a strong script with a reference to the past. It had fact mixed with fiction. To incorporate facts into a film and introduce fictional characters was interesting. I loved the script.

At one point, I wanted to be a wildlife photographer. I also love to travel, so maybe I'd do travel writing.

It's not in every film that you connect to the role.

One rose says more than the dozen.

I value mothers and motherhood enormously. For every inattentive or abusive mother in my fiction I think you'll find a dozen or so who are neither.

You cannot choose beforehand what you want to use for a suit. You may want to change your mind a dozen times before you are through.

I reread a lot. I must have read 'The Once and Future King,' 'Watership Down' and Mary Renault's 'Theseus' books at least a dozen times each.

My first novel was turned down by half a dozen publishers. And even after having published five or six books, I wasn't making enough money to live on, and was beginning to think I'd have to give up the dream of being a full-time writer.
