Anushka Sharma Quotes

I've never been one of those actors who plays chess with his career and goes, 'I'm going to wait now and see what project comes up that can move me to this or that level.' I take stuff as it comes, and it just so happens that it hasn't dried up yet, touch wood.

My career is one thing in my life that I don't plan.

I have no big career plan. It is better for me that way.

I've never planned my career, really. It just comes along, and I do whatever comes next!

Up until like five seconds ago, I just took what jobs came along.

Have a goal. Know where you want to end up. Knowing where you want to end up is a lot easier than figuring out how to start and how to get there. You will figure out how to get there. Do not chart your career. Trust me; you do not want to chart your career.

Some people have career plans, long-range career plans. I don't know anything about that. I'm no good at it.

I never had planned for my life and my career.

You know, it looks like I have a varied resume or a varied career, that I've made interesting choices, when the truth of the matter is, in a way I've just kind of piece-mealed a career together, you know?

The worst question is, 'Where do you see yourself in five years?' I don't know. Variety is the spice of life. That's the best way to describe it.

Careers are what they are, they don't make any sense at all when you look back. We're not in charge of them.

If I was ambitious in my career, then I would have moved to the United States and given it a good go at films.

I didn't really chart things out, career-wise.

I never planned my career. I never planned to be president of Harvard. People would have thought I was crazy, probably, at the age of 8 or 10 or 20, if I had said that.

I don't have a career plan. I've never done that. Things happen accidentally and I've been lucky.

I never felt my career was going backwards.

I am just at that stage of wondering where I go from here. I came into this business almost by accident, but now it has become serious. What started as a bit of fun, something to do other than be a model, has taken on a different career curve. I have been forced to ask where that curve is going to end up.

Each of my career decisions has been very much about doing what I wanted to achieve in the role and then finding another challenge.
