One of my personal indulgences is getting a weekly massage - it helps to re-align my body. I usually feel so much less tense after I've gotten rid of some knots in my shoulders and back.

Even in comedy it's important to get your body acquainted with what you're going to do.

For me, I've been really, really lucky because I have been able to play a lot of different parts.

I really enjoy Martin Sheen - he is very unexpectedly funny, very quick.

I recently have gotten into juicing as an in-between-meals snack. I think the more vegetable ingredients the better, especially if they are green. I find that a good juice can really curb my appetite when I need to wait for the next meal.

I'm used to always being different, in any context. People always want to know how I grew up, so I just say I grew up Muslim. That's the truth. Two Muslim girls can write me two extremely different letters - and they do. Some are very supportive, and some question what I do.

And when I'm not working, my agent books three auditions a day...I'd rather go to the set and work.
