She was quoted saying, "I have been replaced in a lot of films by star kids. But I refuse to be bitter about it. I reached a point when I didn't seek validation from them.

She also spoke about co-existing in the industry with the starkids and one cannot achieve that by bullying and name-calling. She was quoted saying, "We have to co-exist. It's not that star kids will be driven out and only outsiders will stay, or vice versa. Right now, if we are saying that insiders have the power and are miss using it against the outsiders.
