“Some people walk through a hallway with covered mirrors– the hallway is lined with mirrors but there are blankets covering each of them. They go through life believing in an image of themselves that isn't real, and an image of themselves standing in the world and relative to the world, that isn't real. If you happen to be in that hallway and pull the blankets off the mirrors, they're going to think that you're hurting them; but they're actually just seeing their reflection for the first time. Sometimes the most horrendous thing a person can see, is all the hidden things inside them, the things they've covered, the things they choose not look at. And you're not hurting them, you're setting them free.”

“Some people want fame, popularity and huge sales. I've always hoped to have a really long career. So I've tried to make each of my creative decisions and business decisions to allow for longevity. As a side effect I got really famous and really big. I didn't realize the two could go together.”

“Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.”

“Some people want you to fight for them, fully aware that you will never win. They want to watch you struggle, lose, and suffer, because witnessing your defeat boosts their confidence. It reassures them that they are desired and have the power to reject those who want them. They are not truly interested in you . They just want to be worshipped, adored, and pursued. What they really seek is power over someone.”

“Some people want you to grow — but only with them. They’ll cheer for your progress as long as it keeps circling back to their world, keeps them at the center of your expanding life. The moment your growth connects you to new people, new places, and new ideas beyond their reach, they grow restless. Not because they hate your growth, but because they fear it might one day carry you somewhere they cannot follow.”

“Some people warned me against getting married soon. They said your career will end if you do. I felt I wanted to marry Siddharth (Roy Kapur) and I went ahead and married him. And I guess he felt like he wanted to marry me, so we are married today. If I hadn’t felt it for the next ten years probably I wouldn’t have got married. There is no right time. There’s never a right time.”

“Some people were born to work for others. Not in a mindless, servile-way--rather they simply work better in a set regimen of daily tasks and functions. Others were born of the entrepreneurial spirit and enjoy the demands of self-determination and the roll of the dice.”
