Tamil Actress Priyamani quotes
# “Glamour has been an integral part of showbiz from a longtime and the whole debate about exposing and vulgarity is blown out of proportions. As a matter of fact , personally I am ok with exposing, as long as it is done in good taste.”
# “I wasn’t interested in films. Soon after my 12th Std, when I was offered the heroine’s role in Bharatiraja’s film I could not reject.”
# “I like music and used to sing.I never took it up as a profession. Right from school days I used to model and this led me to films.”
# “He’s a fantastic performer. I’m amazed at the speed and brilliancy of his dance movements. I’ve become a huge fan of his. Nowadays, whenever I do a dance sequence, I ask him tips so that I can better my performance. Recently, when he said that I too dance well, I was on cloud nine. Getting appreciation from him is like winning an award to me.” [About NTR]
# “There is so much bloodshed and action packed into our films these days. Pretty women provide the much needed respite to the masses from the melee of non-stop action. ”
# “I never expected an award leave alone a national one. All credit goes to director Ameer for his faith and the technicians who etched my role despite it being totally deglamourised. The entire team deserves ample praise.” [About Best actress award]
