I'm taking my time with the acting and learning as I go.

When I moved back home, I took the initiative to involve my entire family in my career because I didn't find that anyone else was as passionate and thorough.

I know I'm different. Even when I think about an acting career, there are so many limited roles to begin with. I have the ability to be Spanish, Indian, Italian, black, Persian. What roles do I see that compliment that?

I grew up dancing. When I was three years old, my mom would always watch Latin ballroom dancing competitions on PBS.

I think I'm very focused and am quite a good multitasker, and I'm quite driven in knowing what my responsibilities are to my family and knowing what I've got to do to do that.

I come from a family that has a long history in the legal community of New York and New York state.

I can't speak for the other people whose children have died, but I can speak for my family and the other members of Gold Star Families for Peace. We believe we're honoring our children by working for peace.

Women are supposed to want to settle down and have a family. That's not for me.
