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.

Friends always ask me what the best Indian restaurant in L.A. is. I'm like, 'I don't know, dude. I have an app on my iPhone for that.'

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

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

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.

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

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