My relationships with Indian men have been really bad
I want to be an actor the industry needs, not an actor who needs the industry.
There are some people who when they achieve stardom they start to go crazy over it. My foundation is stronger than those Juhu and Bandra kids.
The way that sex is perceived in our country, who would want to be a sex symbol? It's not that I wouldn't want to look sexy, or be known as someone who's hot, but isn't it too petty a word? I'm giving the precious years of my youth to go into unconventional characters, and to do films like Revolver Rani where I take extra time and effort to look ugly.
I know I'm being a bitch, but my relationships with Indian men have been really really bad. It's been traumatic in every way... They don't let me get out of this actress zone.
I think if (acting) doesn't fulfil you, then you should admit it. Don't worry if people will think you're a bit loony.
Being famous can't be your life goal. It's superficial, it's an activity. My life is a lot more important than wearing fancy dresses.
I still feel the way I did when I left home, that I need to find out what I like to do. Maybe I'd like to write a book, or open a little caf somewhere.

Actress Kangana Ranaut opens up about men, money and movies!
Kangana Ranaut is in unique position today after her last few releases. She has managed to make a place for herself, that is her own. She isn't typecast. She loves experimenting. The 27-year-old plays a neurotic character, an alien or a girl from small town with as much ease, as with conviction. She is the only actress of her generation playing the hero'. She refuses to be in a film just to provide glamour. If she grabs your attention with her roles on-screen, she does the same off-screen with her words. Not one to sugarcoat what she thinks and believes, here is a small preview into Kangana's mind. Read in for excerpts from an interview to GQ India...
Right now they've been calling me for every award function there is, and I'm just not interested.
If I talk to someone my age who grew up in Juhu, I feel like I'm talking to a kid, like I need to take care of them, offer them a candy or something. I don't connect.
