Twinkle Khanna Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Twinkle Khanna:

My father believed in astrology. His astrologer had predicted that his daughter would become a writer someday. My father would nag me, but I didn't write a word till he passed away. I wish he could see me now.

We grow up, and we need to confront a society to be fit in.

I'm not really as cool and collected as 'Mrs. Funnybones', but she is the woman I want to be.

Twinkle Khanna

My granny was always mourning about the fact I wear dull, stained jeans or don't brush my hair.

Twinkle Khanna

I am into the candle business, have a home store, The White Window, and interior designing is my primary occupation, though writing now seems to have become better known.

I remember joining a boarding school in the sixth grade. I was lazy, complacent, and fat. Suddenly, I realised that I had to fend for myself. That's when I discovered this drive within myself. For the first time, I ranked first in class, which was a miracle in itself. However, it didn't matter to my family.

Twinkle Khanna

By the time I was in my teens, I was reading science fiction. I had this maternal uncle who had cartons of books. It's important to read because you have to fill your head with words.

Twinkle Khanna

Scripts didn't exist during my time in Bollywood, or, at least, I was never given one. I don't want to act at all and am happy in my cave.

Twinkle Khanna

The thing about India is that even if the economic backgrounds are different, the cultural background is the same. Somebody who is working as a tailor will also tie a black thread around his kid's wrist; so will somebody in Bollywood. That's the fun of being Indian.

Twinkle Khanna

Read everything you can get your hands on: Programme your mind to read all the time and everywhere - even in the bathroom; skim through the lines printed on the back of shampoo bottles and sanitary napkin packets.

Twinkle Khanna

Strangely enough, I don't mention my sister too much in my columns because she nags me and says, 'Don't make me look foolish. Don't write nonsense about me. Don't make jokes about me.'

Twinkle Khanna

I still remember, when I got my fees for 'Barsaat,' I ran into a car showroom and purchased a Maruti Esteem. I treasure that car more than anything else in the world.

Twinkle Khanna

I was doing some research on menstruation for a column. I read about Arunachalam Muruganantham's life and work, and his story gripped me, and that is when I sat down, wrote the first few pages, and sent them off to my editor to have a look.

Twinkle Khanna

Sometimes it is okay to have some chocolates and ice-creams. We all have those days sitting in front of the TV and have those. But you have to have the balance.

Twinkle Khanna

My husband and my son are both such positive-thinking optimists. Together, they've succeeded in making me a bit like them. I am looking at the brighter side of life and enjoying this phase of my life the most.

Twinkle Khanna

I just wanted to say that there is so much goodness in the world. We keep looking at the terrible and diabolical things when we open newspapers.

Twinkle Khanna

'If The Weather Permits' was closer to my heart because it was a woman closer to my age, with a contemporary background like mine. I felt for that character. I've seen so many women like that - smart women who are a wreck when it comes to their emotional lives.

Twinkle Khanna

I never said I'm not a feminist! I wrote one column where I was being sarcastic, and I called myself a 'wombist'. Now which sane person would say that 'wombist' is a better term than feminist? I was being sarcastic, and perhaps it was my fault in not getting the point across as clearly as I would have liked to. I don't think there's any doubt.

Twinkle Khanna

My father was very fond of reading. It was something we did at our home. I don't think it fits the way people think Bollywood works, but that's who we are.

Twinkle Khanna

Do people think women from Bollywood aren't smart?

Twinkle Khanna

Sometimes I am glad I am not a philosopher - how would I ever complete a single chain of thought when someone is constantly asking me to do something? I don't think Plato would have been able to write his dialogues if he had a wife who kept bugging him to pass the pita bread.

Twinkle Khanna

I'm constantly working. I am constantly going to the next thing.

Twinkle Khanna

After sitting for two to three hours at a stretch, my feet just swell up. So I try to walk as much as I can.

Twinkle Khanna

There was never a game plan to be on social media. Like most things in life, if you work consistently and at your pace, then things fall into place.

Twinkle Khanna

My father believed in astrology. His astrologer had predicted that his daughter would become a writer someday. My father would nag me, but I didn't write a word till he passed away. I wish he could see me now.

Twinkle Khanna

I've had my nose in a book my whole life. I never thought it would be useful, but it is now. What's really nice is that I don't have a photographic memory, so words get blurred, thoughts get mixed up, and they come out as something new.

Twinkle Khanna

For all the oddballs and misfits out there, eventually, if you just follow your path, you will reach somewhere no one else has. You are uniquely meant to do something that only you can do.

Twinkle Khanna

While growing u,p I was the fattest girl in the class, and my name was Twinkle, so if I didn't learn to laugh at myself, then I was going nowhere.

Twinkle Khanna

I have never had a facial in my life. I use a facewash, a sunblock, and then I am set, with some kohl pencil around my eyes.

Twinkle Khanna

I don't take too many things too seriously.

Twinkle Khanna

To me, a life that doesn't change things and touch people's lives is pretty meaningless.

Twinkle Khanna

I read science fiction every single day of my life. It's my primary love.

Twinkle Khanna

I'm a different person who's not my father or my mother. I want to be treated differently from them. I am myself, Twinkle Khanna. I am proud of being the daughter of such illustrious parents, but I would not like to be compared with them time and again.

Twinkle Khanna

I like crisp words like 'blimey', 'yikes', 'crap' which describe consternation, embarrassment, and sometimes wonderment without making me type so many alphabets.

Twinkle Khanna

I think till I reached my mid-30s, I just rebelled and rebelled. But eventually, the one thing I did pick up from mom was paying attention to my hair. We all put eggs, oil, dahi, even beer in our hair.

Twinkle Khanna

I am living in the world that I always dreamed of. I am still not living in a world where you can teleport matter from one place to another just by atoms. We haven't reached there yet.

Twinkle Khanna

No one has ever told me that I act badly. It is just that most of the films I did didn't click.
