“I think where I am right now, I am not scared of anything. I had nothing when I came in this industry and now I have immense confidence in myself. I am not answerable to anyone, and I live my life on my own terms.”

"I am not a very easy person to be with, I am very stubborn. I have hang ups. I am not one of those people expected to do the expected. But at the same time I have always taken the responsibility of my actions."

“It (marriage) is an individual choice… whether he or she wants to get married or not. I believe it should be a choice and not a compulsion. I think we should not pressurise girls or boys for their future, marriage or anything. What do you want to become in life, do you want to get married, how do you want to live."

"I am ashamed of celebrities who endorse fairness creams."

"Forget the credit, they (male actors) take all the money as well. We don't get paid even one-third of what male actors get. It's not so much about the money, but it's about (being a) woman. When it comes to paying us, they (filmmakers) wouldn't want to, just because I am a girl. This is very unfair. I think our generation has the responsibility to bring women of the industry to a position where they not only get respect but in every way they should be respected and their graph should be respected."

"At one point, I was ill-treated, considered untouchable and rude things were said to me, despite no provocation from my side. I was mocked for my accent and then they made fun of my dressing sense. And most of all I was crucified for being an outsider in an island full of people with lineage. It was scary."

"Image means a lot. It is everything in the business that we are in. The kind of roles which you get, people identify with your roles, and it then leads to the kind of brands you get. Overall the business is completely based on the kind of image that you have."

“When you date, marriage is not on your mind since first you don’t have an understanding of the equation or the relationship. However, I am very open to timepass romance,” Kangana said at the trailer launch of Katti Batti. She is also open to the idea of a live-in relationship. “To each to its own. I think it is about how that person makes you feel. If there is trust and faith, then go ahead and take the relationship to next level.”

"When you are doing larger than life films with superstars, you don't get equal opportunities. Roles are written for them because the audience goes to watch them. But I want a role which is of equal importance." She further added, "At 18, I wanted to work with the creme de la creme because I thought that was the only way to be successful. But I don't think any A-lister has done as many B-grade films as I have. Today, all I want is 50:50 on paper."

Kangana Ranaut opened up about the sexual harassment she faced as a young girl – “I remember when I used to go to school in Chandigarh. When boys are riding cycles they try to touch girls when they go past them. This one guy came so fast at me that he literally punched me in my chest and I fainted right there.I was like that for five minutes. When I got up I wondered if anybody saw me.If anyone had seen that I’d been teased like this and that this happened to me.”
