Good storytelling appeals to me - good writing.

People may know me from films, but theater is my first love. I did about 35 plays before I even landed my first screen role. I'm very comfortable on stage, and theater is not something you can just wing.

I've never gotten any complaints about my headscarf from a man. You can be sexy with a head wrap!

Chemistry on film is like chemistry in real life, it's either there or it isn't.
