    • Freida: When I was younger, I'd act in front of the mirror, but it was important to finish my education before I pursued an acting career.
    • Freida: This industry is for fighters and those who do not give up. It is very important to believe in yourself. Even when a hundred people rejected me, I did not lose hope and finally one of the biggest directors of all times [Danny Boyle] believed in me. Also working in this film [Slumdog Millionaire] has taught me a lot, not just in terms of acting but also about myself, which is an integral part of being a good actor.
    • Freida: The fact that I have been born and brought up in Bombay- a city of dreams pretty much stood out as my guiding light. I have no role models as such. Yes there are many actors I respect and I am inspired by them but stepping into the world of Cinema was my childhood plan and I am proud to have finally hit my first goal.
    • Freida: With each film I want to grow as an actor. I want to do performance-driven roles. Slumdog Millionaire is a film about destiny. And destiny itself had a major part to play in me getting this role. I believe that things like a middle class girl debuting in a Danny Boyle film cannot be planned. Neither can winning an Oscar. If it's meant to be, it will. I've realized that the beauty of life is that it takes turns that are sometimes bigger than your wildest dreams.
    • Freida: (after the success of "Slumdog Millionaire") I feel thrilled and so grateful to all the forces at work that have led me to where I am right now. This whole experience has been simply magical. Every now and then I have to pinch myself to check if it's real. [This film] has been such an enriching experience. Right now, I'm just enjoying the reactions it is receiving and traveling to so many wonderful places, promoting the film.
    • Freida: (on her best asset) I think it's my smile more than anything else. When I smile, it comes from my heart and I can actually feel it. Sometimes I feel like I'm exposing too much gums, but I don't care because when I really smile with my heart, there's something that goes flutter within me.
    • Freida: (in a May 2009 interview) I don't have a fixed address as I'm making movies all over the world. I'm filming in Israel at the moment and who knows after that, so I'm not making plans to buy my own place yet. Ultimately, Mumbai will always be home. That's where my family is.
    • Freida: (on doing the dance number at the end of "Slumdog Millionaire") It was fun for me because I think dance is such a great from of expression and just going out there, letting loose and losing all your inhibitions was such a fun thing.
    • Freida: I'm embarrassed to be thought of as an icon. It's so far from what I am: a girl from suburban Mumbai who has been unusually blessed. I have not forgotten my days of struggling.
    • Freida: The beauty of life is that it takes turns that are sometimes bigger than your wildest dreams.
    • Freida: I think I look like the typical Indian girl. There are so many pretty girls back in India. The most beautiful thing is they're not even aware of it. That is the beauty of their beauty.
    • Freida: My parents always knew I wanted to become an actress, so they always supported me. My sister is from the media, so she supported me too.
    • Frieda: (talks about, what kind of movies he would you like to do) I like to try new things all the time. I like to do something different just for the experience. I am open to any kind of acting. Comedy is difficult and so I am working on that.
