I like to cook Indian food when I can. I find the process of creating a home-cooked meal to be unwinding.

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.

I had a dialect coach to get an American accent, and then another dialect coach to come off it a bit. There is something deep and mysterious in the voice when it isn't too high-pitched American.

My mother told me not to listen to anyone. She had been told that she wouldn't be able to teach and she did.

I feel like I have one foot in New York, one foot in London and one foot in India. But it's important to me to invest time with family.

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!

I am still married, yes - no children. I have Benzo, though; he's my dog, a Lhasa apso.

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

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.'

Wise people listen to your words. Learned people listen to their interpretation of your words.

I realise now that I wanted to disappear. To get so lost that nobody ever found me. To go so far away that I'd never be able to make my way home again. But I have no idea why.

Bill Prady and Chuck Lorre, the guys who run that show [Big Bang Theory], are really funny and really smart, and the cast is fantastic to work with.

Jackson was not a religious man when he came to Lexington.

To dance is to live ...to live is to dance.

Live with the anticipation that something incredible might happen at any time.

Our power lies in our love of our homelands.

The screams of a hurt woman were indistinguishable from everyday traffic.

The story I tell is so incomplete, five kids in the house and no food to eat.
