“ I always think of myself as an audience first. If I like something, my assumption is that others, too, will like it. “

“ My stardom shouldn't decide my film choices. I should not be pressurised by statements like the entire country is looking forward to watching my movie. Those kinds of statements will compromise my decisions. “
