I didn't know box office was a thing you could possess but I don't have it. I go up for lovely roles and people with this nebulous thing called box office get them so there isn't much I can do about that unless you know where I can get some box-office myself!
I hate how box office failures are blamed on an actress, yet I don’t see a box office failure blamed on men.

I guess it’s because we live in a patriarchal society, where feminism is a dirty word.
Films have been my only passion in life. I have always been proud of making films and will continue taking pride in all my films. I have never made a movie I have not believed in.

We get stressed out now by having somebody yell at us in the office or by making a mistake or by losing a bunch of money. These aren't problems that our hunter-gatherer ancestors had.

Films of stars as well non stars are working at the box office. People look out for content driven films.
