I Know I'm Flawed - But Perfect

I Wasn't Even Prepared To Be An Actress. I Was 17 When I Came Out Of High School, And Suddenly Became Miss World And Then I Became An Actress.

The World, The Way We Look At Women And Sexuality, Is What Needs To Change - Not Our Behavior, Not Who We Are, Not What We Say. It's The Intentions That Should Change. It's The Mind-set. Otherwise, We're Just Going To Be A Completely Confused Society With Not Knowing What To Say To One Another. The Mind-set Of When You Meet A Woman Is That You Should Try And Get To Know Her.

I Eat Right And Ensure That I Burn It All By Working Out Equally As Much As I Eat.

I Don't Think A Lot Of People In America Understand What Indians Are. And That's Our Fault, A Little. We Tend To Forget Our Roots A Bit. As Kids We Think, If I'm Too Indian, I'll Be Put In A Box, And People Will Think Of Me As Different. They'll Think I'm Weird, Because I Eat Indian Food Or My Name Is Difficult To Pronounce.

I Did Not Want To Be The Stereotype Of Either Bollywood Or What Indian Actors Are Usually Offered. The Exotic, Beautiful Girl, Or The Academically Inclined Nerd. And I Wanted To Play A Lead... I Didn't Settle For Less.
