Parminder Nagra Quotes

I want to write, act, and direct!

I love playing different characters all the time, so I'm concentrating on doing other stuff.

If I had to start over, I'd pursue photography - probably to the exclusion of acting.

I hope to continue working in film, television and theatre.

What I always wanted to get seen as was as a good actor, when it was the acting I was doing. When I'm writing, I want to try to be seen as a good writer.

Well, acting has been a dream of mine since I can remember; being in the movies and acting, having those experiences.

Music is my first love and the thing that I feel extremely connected to. I feel like I still have a long way to go within that in terms of being able to perform and write songs. But, yeah, I really hope 'The Possession' opens doors for me to do more acting, because I really enjoyed it.

There is no comparison between the life of a rock star and an actor. If I could now, I would be a rock star within a blink of an eye. So as far as music is concerned, yeah, I might just go back to it, but don't want to be unfair to it. It requires its proper time and space.

I wanted to direct more than I wanted to act. And I found I couldn't do everything.
