I don't believe that I should just do A-movies, I just do the work as an artist.

I try to be eclectic in my choice of films. If I've done anything that's intentional in my career, it's to try to do as many different types of characters and as many different types of genres of movies that I can.

Most artists like to think of themselves as rugged individualists, as independent characters.

I like to mix it up, yeah. I don't sort of think, 'Oh, I need to do a comedy, I've done three dramas this year.' I don't think of it like that, but I definitely from project to project I feel like I want to just do something different all of the time and stop, I don't want to bore myself or anyone else.

I've just simply used what I've used because of the great, great expressive potential of it.

Anyway I feel myself a bit on the edge on the art world, but I don't mind, I'm just pursuing my work in a very excited way. And there isn't really a mainstream anymore, is there?

I've always chosen incredibly different roles and things that are quite offbeat. That way you're not limited.

If my fans only want me to do a certain kind of films, then 'Naanaku Prematho' would have failed miserably. They've entrusted me with the freedom to select good and different scripts.

I don't like to limit myself as an actress.

I think people sometimes have a hard time placing me because I don't fit into a box. When they ask what I do at a cocktail party, I either say I'm a Renaissance woman or I'm a high-level madam. Lately I've been more comfortable saying I'm an artist, because that can cover a lot of different things.

I want to do films in as many genres - action, fantasy, period, classic love stories - as I can. I don't want to pigeon-hole myself.

I only take up roles that really appeal to me, and like to break the rules as an actress.
