When I was younger I was fat. I was never conscious of it and was content with who I was because I was so loved. My mother never told me to lose weight and my father doted on me, but my agent told me. I tried, but I loved Indian food too much.

The predictable thing about 'The Good Wife' is how unpredictable 'The Good Wife' is.

I have been extremely proactive in putting myself up for characters that may have been meant to specifically be Caucasian. You bring an interesting angle to the character that isn't written.

My mother told me not to listen to anyone. She had been told that she wouldn't be able to teach and she did.

I like to cook Indian food when I can. I find the process of creating a home-cooked meal to be unwinding.

I am still married, yes - no children. I have Benzo, though; he's my dog, a Lhasa apso.

I remember sitting in school and thinking, 'I don't know why I'm here, because I know I'm going to act and I know I'm going to America.'
