I'm all over YouTube.
I like challenges - and I also like to be different.
I love theater, I love live. I just love the whole thing, the live audience. There. Breathing. Being into the show. You can't beat that, the immediate response.
My career has been a series of breaking through barriers.
I always consider myself a Hyderabadi; my roots are here.
Well, 'Roots' for me was just an incredible experience. And I was so happy to play Kizzy because Kizzy was, even though she was a slave, she was a strong, strong woman.
I think everyone roots for the underdog.
All my roots are still in the prarie country of the Middle West.
I've got country in my musical roots.
