Amisha Patel Quotations

Being sexy is all about attitude, not body type. It's a state of mind.

Life is all about evolution. What looks like a mistake to others has been a milestone in my life. Even if people have betrayed me, even if my heart was broken, even if people misunderstood or judged me, I have learned from these incidents. We are human and we make mistakes, but learning from them is what makes the difference.

I feel French is very close to Urdu. Both languages are beautiful. Sadly, their beauty is lost in translation.

Cleaning is therapy for me. I'm not ashamed of holding the duster or broom.

I love human beings. I believe that there is so much to learn from every person you meet, including a child.

I would never deny the importance of the media, but I wouldn't go out of the way to splash my pictures all over town. I'd rather let my work do the talking.

Believe me, it's not easy being an actress and a producer, especially with no big daddy to support you.

I reprimand people, even those working with me, for littering the roads.

I work on my body to stay fit, but that does not make me superior to anyone. I am a forthright and hardworking girl.

To join or not to join films was the biggest choice I had to make. I'd done two years of biogenetic engineering, was an economics graduate and a gold medalist. I had also been a Bharatanatyam dancer from age five, always won the best actress award in school. Finally, I decided to do things for my soul, chose to act.

Had I not made it big, my family would have told me to recheck my decision. Now that I am successful, there is no way. They have to accept it gracefully.

When I arrived and looked at the destruction from the tsunami, I told myself, 'We're not going to be able to make an impact in two and a half weeks.' But after we were through, I knew we had left a lasting impression.

I am happy I have competition. It keeps me on my toes all the while and stops me from becoming complacent. So, it works to my advantage.

I'm lucky that I haven't been left out in the cold like Mumta Kulkarni or Meghna Kothari.

Films were never on my agenda, may be it was written in my destiny. And since I am here, I would like to give it my best try.
