You have this impression from England that New Yorkers can be quite aggressive, but certainly the people that I've bumped into and the friends I've made here don't seem that way. Just walking down the street and asking for directions, people seem to be very helpful and happy to help.

I'd love to say I made the smart decision of picking projects that became hits, but with 'The Good Wife,' I read the script and something inside me said, 'I love this, I want to do this.'

I have always let the lack of Indian actors in the industry drive me, not hold me back. I remember an agent in L.A. telling me a few years ago that an Indian actor wouldn't ever make it in Hollywood, but my ethnicity has helped me.

I've always been quite psychic and believe there's a reason why things happen and that we need to learn from them.

And I'd love to direct. One day. I'm learning a lot on the set of The Good Wife.

Sometimes my ethnicity is relevant, other times not. I definitely get the best of both worlds.

At the end of the week, it's nice to just hang out in a pair of jeans and let my hair down. I need a break from all that fashion!
