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

I love roles where I have to transform myself.

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.

A lot of the time, people want to hear from someone like myself. They want to give it a shot. It's challenging, and it's driven me more than discouraged me.

When I started out in the '90s, there were not many people of color writing, directing and producing - hence, the roles for people of color were few and far between. There's still few roles in England [where she's from].
