Following are some of many lovable, insightful and some rather infamous quotes by Kareena.

About Herself & Her Career
» I hate pitting on make-up and doing my hair. I'm much happier in one plait. And I love to cry.

» I still hate putting on make-up. I crib all the time when my face is being done up. And I still yell and crib when Manish (Malhotra)makes me try on outfits. I hate dressing up. I'm happy in my salwar-kameez.

» Yeah, I'm getting my price. Producers are even willing to pay me more than what I ask. But unfortunately, I can't do every film. So I have to turn down offers. (Laughs) Chalo, at least this way others get work.

» I don't want to play these complex characters. I don't want to do any classics or period films either.

» I have good movies on hand. And finally I'm content with myself. I've reached a comfort level with myself.

» I have always dabbled and experimented with various kinds of roles. Be it in Omkara, Jab We Met or Chameli , I have experimented. Guess my patience and hard work paid off

» I am delighted. I love the trendy hip fashion from Globus which is as good as anywhere else in the world.

» How can you talk about me as if I am some has been. I am Kareena Kapoor

» I am the only actress who has done a varied number of roles

» I am a hell raiser, I do my own thing. And I believe what I do is the right thing

» I have matured, I am much more calm and relaxed now. I know what I want in life

» I don't believe in competition.

» I am a successful woman, I don't need a successful man

» I would never hurt anyone. Sometimes things in life don't go as planned. That's why now Kareena has stopped planning.

» I know deep down that there is a name tag that follows me but it doesn't stop me from being my own person.

» Kareena just happened to be a Kapoor but if you see Kareena as just Kareena she's unique in her way.

About Life, Love & More
» Life is full of happiness and tears, be strong and have faith.

» If people believe that — it's great. But personally, I feel love has got nothing to do with it. By saying this people discount the hard work put in by me and the entire crew and cast of the films I have done. I would say all the risks and challenges that I have taken as an actress have paid off. Encouraged, I shall venture into newer zones in my work area now.

About Bollywood, Co-Stars & More
» He's my backbone. He's taught me a lot. For starters, he tempered me down.

» I have seen Shahid (Kapoor) from his first film to Jab We Met and I can say that there is a marked difference. According to me he is a bundle of talent waiting to explode. I have that much of faith in him.

» I think Salman (Khan) is a great guy and we have been unfair and hard on him.

» Shahid and Amrita (Rao) make a good onscreen pair.

» This has been a great event. Industry will benefit more, now that the Italian firms have shown their support to us

» The only actress of my generation that I have really liked is Rani.
