When I Started Out In The '90s,

There Is A Big Misconception About Arranged Marriage. Yes, It Can Mean That You Meet Someone And Then Have To Marry Them, But This Was My Mother Saying, 'i'm Going To Introduce You To So-and-so - If You Don't Like Them, Fair Enough.

I Went To Brunel University And Very Much Wanted To Go On To Do A Phd In Management, But Then My Acting Career Started To Take Off. In Those Days When You Switched On The Box There Were Hardly Any Brown Or Black Faces.

Coming To New York Is Like A Big Hug, Everyone Is So Welcoming. There's Something About Here, Everyone Makes You Feel So At Home. I Miss My Family Of Course, But I Don't Miss London That Much. I Was Worried, But I Feel Really At Home. Everyone Says That Who Comes Here From London, But I Didn't Believe Them.

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.'

My Mother Told Me Not To Listen To Anyone. She Had Been Told That She Wouldn't Be Able To Teach And She Did.
