Sridevi, "I am an ordinary girl..."

Throwback to this quote from SHOWTIME, August 1990, 

SHOWTIME: “Do you feel trapped in a star image?
Sridevi:
(Shrugs) Nahin. [No]. A normal girl’s family life must be better than mine. Every minute is spent working. Kabhi din hua kabhi raat, pata nahin chalta. [I don't know if its day or night when working]. I can’t just go for walks or go out for dinner. I always feel I am in school. Get up in the morning, rush for shooting, obey the directors or dance-directors, pack up, go back to the hotel or home (if in Madras), have dinner and go to sleep. When the director says ‘pack up,’ it sounds like the school bell and I am ready to rush home. On the sets, I am an artiste, at home, I am an ordinary girl, who loves to spend her time with only her family. Now tell me, am I stuck in an image?"
