Growing up, I remember watching TV, and I didn't see a lot of people who looked like me, especially someone who passed as a glamorous model on a mainstream TV show.

As a girl growing up in Cyprus, Saudi Arabia and then India, the idea of cracking the industry in America seemed crazy. So thankfully, the way I was raised was to be an open person.

While I was growing up all over, in all my different schools, I was always doing theater, auditioning for plays.

Everything I've done I've always kind of jumped in headfirst, and it's been a learning curve. Even MuchMusic, I had never done live television before, and all of a sudden you show up, and they're like, 'You ready kid? Let's go.'

Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement.

IQ is a very important predictor, not just of academic success, but of economic success.

I don't know if somehow success has made me conservative. With every passing year and with every success, I get more aware of the responsibility on my shoulders.

I'm going to prove I can coach in the women's game and prove I can manage an England team to success.
