On filming Trishna: Freida and Trishna are very, very different people, and that's why the character was even more intriguing for me to take on, because it's so opposite me...I didn't relate to her. I am not a silent sufferer like she is. She just would take on whatever pain that was given to her... I know people find it so hard to believe that women like this would exist in the 21st century but the truth of the matter is, they actually do!

On her first acting roles - dancing in front of her family's kitchen table: I'd be like, "Time to present!" I'd sing, I'd dance - I'd just put on a solo show like a schizo, playing all the characters.
