i don't know how many of you are familiar with bollywood and bollywood actors, but this woman is probably my favorite human being in the entire world. in addition to being a fantastic actress, she is a philanthropist, an activist, and a great feminist. she's said that if she weren't an actress, she would like to have been prime minister of india. she is an incredibly strong, intelligent, adorable, and fierce woman. SHE EVEN STOOD UP TO THE INDIAN MAFIA; she testified against them in court, and she was the only witness in the whole case to not recant her statements. for that, she was awarded a godfrey phillips national bravery award, of which she said, "To be brave is not to be fearless. It is when you fear and you get over it, then you can be called brave. I am human. It is not that I fear nothing." she is absolutely amazing. i love her so, so, so, so much.

"Of course I have fear. It's only when you fear you may not be alive tomorrow that you will live every moment. Like if you're stranded in a forest and you're scared. Your eyes and ears and nose and skin, the back of your neck hair tells you something: You'll never be more alive. I like that feeling."
"In life I have a 'one tight slap' theory. It means if anyone makes me uncomfortable or treats me like a piece of meat, then they get a dose of my theory."
"I used to joke with my director of photography on sets and say, 'If the world is a stage, I need better lighting.'"
"Today I take the good with the bad and the ugly and keep telling myself, 'Films are a part of my life. I do them; they don't do me.'"
"Through success I've taken one step forward; through failure I've taken five steps forward. What I am today is more because of my failures than my success. Success is fickle. It makes you smile a lot and surrounds you with fake friends. Failure grounds you and makes you realize who your friends are."
"I'd get bored if everything was perfect in my life. And I get bored very fast. I need instant stimulation, new challenges, new avenues, a new beginning every time. If I get on one path and reach the door to success, I need another door to open for me. I can't sit there and say, 'Oh, I've done it, I've done it, Wow, I'm the rockstar, the superstar.'"
