I know many actresses who started big but were sent packing, as they couldn't sustain the momentum. I am in this for the long haul.
From Samantha Ruth Prabhu
I have always wanted to work with Lingusamy, as he is a master of commercial cinema. I have always admired his etching of female characters.
People often ask me why I don't take up more heroine-oriented roles. My question is, 'Where are these roles?' I really appreciate actresses who sign only films with meaty roles. However, there aren't too many of them. The industry is simply male-dominated.
I think people are able to relate to my appearance. They think of me as the girl next door.
I am done with the cliched heroine roles. I can't go to work without a challenge. I want to do films that drive me, films in which I am a part of the main plot.
I am my biggest critic. Even in films where people said they liked me, I have disliked myself.
There's a thin line between catering to the masses and making a fool of yourself; I try to walk that line.
There are thousands of good-looking women out there. Longevity for a heroine doesn't come only with good looks: talent matters.
Only the film industry can make you an overnight success. Unlike other jobs where you have to work your way up, here you can reach dizzying heights of fame instantly.
In the film industry, you are fictitious, just like the characters you play. It has a lot do with a perception about you, and not necessarily you. You are successful because people like that image of you on screen.
