It was been an absolute joy being in 'The Vagina Monologues' for so many years. I think the play is truly special.

As a society, we need to create an environment that encourages women to make the choices that are available to them and encourages them to speak their mind.

In fact, it is more interesting to play someone whose politics is not in sync with my own politics because then I have to understand a different kind of mind and that becomes more interesting as an actor.

If the story is insensitive to a person and is not nuanced enough, that's a story I don't want to be a part of. Otherwise there is no other character that I don't want to play.

I think we're still struggling to find a way of depicting women that doesn't objectify them.

In the digital space, writers and directors get time to build and establish a character.

But honestly, much of the work that I have done has had some impact on me. It's something that I have realised only later. I also find it amusing that the memories of actors are so consciously constructed around what happened to that piece of work, in terms of audience reception or box-office results.

Sometimes you read the script and you feel that this is a challenging role but at times you feel that this one was written for me.

You can't understand a character intellectually, you have to become one with its emotional core.

Over-articulation kills the character because it becomes one thing and that is not how it happens in life and it is not beautiful to watch on screen either.

I feel it's important to familiarize yourself with the world that the character inhabits.

I've been fortunate with the kind of work I've done, in terms of quality. But a lot of work didn't get the kind of release and attention that it deserved. And, I feel little let down by our distribution system.

A good working relationship between an actor and the director is very important. It takes a while to build a comfort zone because filmmaking is a long process so it is important to connect with people you work with.

I am a serial class taker. I take classes for anything and everything!

My general idea about my work is that it's more about the work than the things that come with it. I am constantly striving to improve on that and find new things to do there. That journey itself is so interesting is because there's so much to do that there's no room for doubt there.
