It’s okay to be you. You don’t have to try to be anybody else. Whatever you are, however you are, it’s fine. Nobody’s perfect.
-Priyanka Chopra
I think it’s great to be flawed. I am hugely flawed, and I like it this way. That’s the fun of life. You fall, get up, make mistakes, learn from them, be human and be you.
-Priyanka Chopra
Mary Kom is a woman who stood up alone in a male-dominated field and fought for her rights and what she believed in. Her story is an inspiration for every young person out there.
-Priyanka Chopra
I believe destiny and hard work go hand in hand.
-Priyanka Chopra
The harder [role] the better. Definitely. When somebody turns around and says, “She can’t do that,” then that’s the one I want to do.
-Priyanka Chopra
I’m not usually a follower of trends – I like to set them a lot more. I don’t like things that people have done already, then it’s no fun for me to do it.
-Priyanka Chopra
I know I’m flawed – but perfect is boring anyway! Flawed is good!
-Priyanka Chopra
As a girl, I am this stupid, emotional, very loyal, sort of believe-in-values-and-principals sort of girl.
-Priyanka Chopra
I am a very private person. No one ever knows anything about me as I don’t think it is necessary. I tell people as much as I want them to know about me.
-Priyanka Chopra
The joy of creating is the truest joy.

Women are often told to have to be a certain way, to speak a certain way. The “norm” has been defined for many, many years, so it is very scary, especially for girls around the world who don’t have the freedom and the opportunity to have a voice.
-Priyanka Chopra
I was rejected many times. I cried. I was told that female actors are replaceable in films because they just stand behind a guy anyway. I’m still used to being paid – like most actresses around the world – a lot less than the boys. We’re told we’re too provocative or that being sexy is our strength, which it can be, and it is, but that’s not the only thing we have. But women have incredible endurance and incredible strength. Your ability to deal with it is within you.
-Priyanka Chopra
When someone asks me about my diet I feel terrible saying that I don’t really have one.
-Priyanka Chopra
I’m lucky. I don’t know whether I’m deserving or not. All I know is that I work damn hard for everything. And God helps those who help themselves. Every day is like an exam. I believe destiny and hard work go hand in hand. I was studying to be an engineer when my mom and my brother sent my pictures for the Miss India contest. I didn’t even know about it. If that isn’t destiny, what is?
-Priyanka Chopra
Everything isn’t perfect.
-Priyanka Chopra
Every movie that I do, I always try and better myself in the next one and try and find a part which is more challenging. It’s a little vulnerable to do that, to always push the envelope. You position yourself for a lot more flack or a lot more critique because you’re trying to do something different. Sometimes you’re good at it and sometimes you’re not, but it’s a chance you have to take to make life exciting.
-Priyanka Chopra
I’ve been the saddest while I’ve been the most successful, strangely.
-Priyanka Chopra
We’re afraid of letting people see the glory of who we are.
