India’s pride and Hollywood’s current sweetheart, Priyanka Chopra, who is celebrating her 34th birthday today, is a forever quotable treasure.
She is an incredible actress, a style icon and a great role model for young girls, she also happens to be absolutely popular right now. Whether she’s talking about the Oscars red carpet, making fun of herself while attending popular TV shows or talking about the reality of acting that so many other stars avoid, she is one of the most quotable celebrities ever.
Priyanka Chopra turns 34 and I list 35 quotes of the actor where she proved honesty still exists, even in showbiz. These are the some of the most awesome PeeCee quotes that pretty much sum up life.
1. I buy my own diamonds. When a guy comes into my life it will not be for diamonds. A guy will be in my life only when I am in love. I don’t need a guy for anything else except for children. (2016)
2. When I became Miss World, I couldn’t believe I had won it. I used to sleep with my crown because I was scared someone would steal it. (2007)
3. After the eyes, it’s the feet. I like men with clean feet. (2007)
4. I live with romance in my brain. I’m a true-blue Cancerian. (2014)
5. I feel exhausted. But I also feel a sense of accomplishment with everything that has happened so far. I’ve worked very hard for this. But I know there are many more miles to go and milestones to achieve before I sleep. (On her recent Oscar appearance that had the entire country and the Interent talking.) (2016)
6. My parents always told me I could be whatever I wanted to be. I just have to want it. Sometimes I wanted to be an engineer, a house maid, a pilot ... but actor was never on the list of ambitions. (2009)
7. My ambition when I was four-years-old was to be married. (2012)
8. If my man cheated, I would probably beat the shit out of him first. I am the kind of person who would get violent. Depending on how much I love him, I may forgive or may not forgive. (2016)
9. Seeing my dad so weak breaks me a little bit more. Dads are supposed to be superheroes. Need some prayers today. (When her father was taken ill. He died last year) (2012)
10. I like bad boys, and I like to take them home to my mom. (2011)
11. If two of your films don’t do well, people say you’re out in the cold and your career is over. One film does well, and you’ve had the best year of your life! I don’t believe in all that is written. (2012)
12. I’m inspired by creative people because they add the colour and the emotions to our lives. (2013)

20. I never had any awkward situations with Shah Rukh Khan. (On being questioned if her alleged link up with SRK affected their equation). (2012)
21. I think it’s great to be flawed. I am hugely flawed, and I like it that way. That’s the fun of life. You fall, get up, make mistakes, learn from them, be human and be you. (2012)
22. I don’t like guys who are conventional. I’m an achiever; he has to be an achiever too. I admire drive and ambition. I like a guy who keeps me on my toes. (2011)
23. All I know is, I work damn hard. And God helps those who help themselves. I believe destiny and hard work go hand-in-hand. I was studying to be an engineer when my mom and my brother sent my pictures for the Miss India contest. I didn’t even know about it. If that isn’t destiny, what is? (2007)
