For all of my fortune, there are many with misfortune that need a hand.

I believe in giving back.

Certainly situation comedy is harder than people who are good at it make it look, but it's fun to do something different.

There are amazing schools and amazing educators that are doing a wonderful job. And then there are a lot of educators that are not prepared to deal with inclusive education. They haven't been trained. It's really quite lovely and easy when you understand how to do it.

I had a difficult time getting my arms around Einstein's work, even when I was a physics major at one of the top universities in India.

It's like how science fiction in the '50s was a way of talking about war without actually having to risk any political capital. The obvious metaphor is power and powerlessness, but I also think it's a way of experimenting with dangerous feelings in a safe arena and trying things out.

But one of the things I learned from improvising is that all of life is an improvisation, whether you like it or not. Some of the greatest scientific discoveries of the 20th century came out of people dropping things.

I was always fascinated with science, and being Persian, it's instilled in us at a young age to follow something very academic in our career.
