I must not feature, but why would I produce a movie and I am not in it? Remember other people pay me to be in their movies. I feel it is what I love to do and being part of it adds value to the movie.

I don't know, all I know is that I just try to do the best I can as a producer and an actor.

My dream role is that of a producer – a woman behind the scenes – who creates roles for diversity in films. I want to help create an industry that demonstrates what our society is as a whole.

My journey has been a continuous learning process, marked by a commitment to storytelling that resonates with the audience. Each project is a step in that evolution, a quest to connect with people on a deeper, more meaningful level. A producer is more than just an investor; they are the architects of a film. Responsible for the entire creative and business process, from idea conception to assembling the right team, managing budgets, and overseeing production. While not visible on screen, a producer's influence is integral to every aspect of the filmmaking journey.

I want to be a force to reckon with not just as an actor but also as a producer. I want to do quality stuff and be an employer of labour so that I can change perceptions people have about the industry.

I am here to act, entertain and make good films. I don't want to work hard for a film which does not even get released. I will cooperate with my director and help him make a good film. I get disappointed if my co-actors don't put in as much as I do. Today I am looking for banners and costars who have the same goal as me --- to work towards making a good film with dedication. I have made mistakes in my career, but that is just the learning process.

I am really fed up doing second-rate roles in mediocre films and working against the prejudice that comes with my "image." I have studied all my life. I am not trying to become an actress, I am an artist and an actress.

I consider myself a professional who acts, not to express my soul or elevate the cinema but to entertain and get paid for it.

I don't make movies to make money, I make money to make movies.

Being an actress doesn't make you popular in school. I was always leaving to make a movie then coming back in.

I like films that rest in the memory so I try and choose parts which have some kind of social or emotional force. For me, being an actress is not just a profession but a profession of faith.

I’ve been producing behind the scenes for a little while now, so that has always been part of my brain and process. If I can add value and be integral in a project or an experience, I definitely love producing. But now that I’ve directed, I look forward to new opportunities to get to do it again. We’ll see what comes next. I definitely look forward to doing it again, for sure.

People say to me, "You make fantastic films" and I say, "No, I make documentaries."

The first thing is that I have passion for my profession. I am an actress and at the same time I’m in the academics.
