My mom was scared of the old Times Square so I was never allowed to go. Now I'm scared of the new Times Square, so I still never go.

I was the first Indian model to have a career in Paris, Milan and New York.

I never Tweet about my daughter. Never. I just want to be respectful of her privacy. My job as a mom is to know when to open my mouth and when not to.

I think wine is such a big universe that it's kind of like food - it's intimidating to a lot of people, myself included.

I have been unusually blessed in that I've been allowed to pursue two strands of a career that both delight me and seem to please the public.

Eleven years of acting it has been for me, and I still sometimes think I am not cut out for this. I hate the people-pleasing that goes with it, and the stupid politics, but that is with every kind of work and job.

I was a photographer. That's how I began my career, behind the camera.

I started my career as a novelist. 'Veronica Mars' was first imagined as a novel.
