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

I went out for a film where they wanted seven brothers and one sister, so I was there for half a day while they were waiting for 'Archie' to read for a boy I've had drivers come to pick me up in England looking for a blond, blue-eyed Scottish boy.

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

My mother wanted to be a teacher when she was young, and my father didn't approve of it, so she fought very hard to become one. And she did it. So when I said I wanted to become an actress, my mother was very supportive. She always said to me, 'There's no such thing as 'can't.

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.

I think it is vital to fight to do something you want to do despite not gaining your community's or your friends' approval.

I don't ever want to be hugely famous because I had a little taste of it after 'East Is East' and 'Bend It.'
