“There's a thin line between catering to the masses and making a fool of yourself…” — Samantha Akkineni

I have the greatest respect for working mothers.

I just want my films to work. The hit or flop verdict really affects me. I seriously analyse what went wrong if a film turns out to be a dud!

I never look at how many songs I have or how many girls are there in a movie. If I like my character, I play it.

I love acting, but I'm not too crazy about money or fame. They don't drive me.
