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

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.

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 like to do new things, so I always take on roles that I feel will keep me on my toes. I never want to pigeon myself, so I always like to surprise myself. I believe in versatility and so I would play anything as long as it was a challenge.

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!

It was the success of 'Bend it Like Beckham' which got my name out there. 'A Mighty Heart' also helped.

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