I knew what I wanted to do for my entire life, from nursery to university. I've always been geared towards wanting to act. I've stuck with it, dedicated time to it.

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

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.'

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

Luckily my parents were not against my ambition, they've always been very supportive. But they were adamant that I went to university first.

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

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