In everything I do, I like to set the idea for girls that they can do anything. I was really moved by Hillary Clinton's speech when she lost the election - she didn't want young girls to feel like it wasn't possible and wanted them to know a female president will eventually happen. That's important.

There are some great women's roles in television... so much more interesting than what I was reading in film scripts.

There are so many successful women working in intelligence, but it's still seen as a male-dominated world.

When I was working on 'Homeland,' there was a consultant who helped me a lot... I went to Washington and met with my consultant there, and he actually organised a lunch with several people from the Intelligence Committee.

New York, specifically, has been very good to me throughout my wrestling career.

Before I had decided to get into politics, I was laying the groundwork to have a career in the law, but that was really to lay the foundation to teach, either at the college level or law school level after my federal clerkships.

The thing I really look for in this business is there are guys who are into football and there are guys who are in the profession for other reasons.

I am ambitious, and I'm excited for my career to grow, and I do want to represent the Asian community and the Filipino community.
