I Seek Out Parts Which Are Strong Women. It's Not The Quantity Of A Role; It's The Quality Of A Role.

As A Girl, I Am This Stupid, Emotional, Very Loyal, Sort Of Believe-in-values-and-principals Sort Of Girl.

I Don't Think A Lot Of People In America Understand What Indians Are. And That's Our Fault, A Little. We Tend To Forget Our Roots A Bit. As Kids We Think, If I'm Too Indian, I'll Be Put In A Box, And People Will Think Of Me As Different. They'll Think I'm Weird, Because I Eat Indian Food Or My Name Is Difficult To Pronounce.

I Am A Very Private Person. No One Ever Knows Anything About Me As I Don't Think It Is Necessary. I Tell People As Much As I Want Them To Know About Me.

There Are So Many Incredible Women On Tv Right Now. Viola Davis, Kerry Washington, Ellen Pompeo. These Are Really Incredible Female Leads That Are On Network Tv. Hopefully, With What I Do, And The Generation Of Actors I'm Working With, That'll Make The Lives Of Other Girls Coming In After Me Even Better. I Hope To Aim For That.
