Fusion fashion - that's what I'm inspired by, taking all these different cultures and then trying to put it together that a girl here would love to wear.

My mom, well, she's half Greek, half German-Italian; born in England. She's just a nomad. She loves Middle Eastern style, Indian style, so much so that she ended up having Indian babies.

When I lived in London, I worked at the U.N. for a while as its human rights and refugees officer. I have two degrees, and my second was in radio. I was a programmer and news reporter in Canada. My CV looks bananas.

My mom used to call me a parrot, because the way I spoke would change in every country we'd go to.

'Curvy' is just a polite way of saying 'fat.'

Once you get a kitten, the natural thing you do is take a billion photos.

You can't force chemistry. It's either there or it's not. You can't create it.

It comes down to personal style, and that's what's sexy and attractive in a man.

I am a little obsessed with surprise kitty.

I had two different degrees: One in International Relations/Political Science and another degree in Radio and Television Production.

I got a job as a human rights and refugees officer, working on youth-based projects. But I realized all the kids I was working with were far more into 'The Daily Show' than the policy briefings.

If I could travel back in time, I'd bring back the entire Wu-Tang Clan.

I also had a hosting position on a home and garden television show - which is a joke if you ever see my apartment.

I love to do Pilates, Bar Method, and spin. I'm addicted.

I played ping-pong with Prince. That's pretty surreal. He gave me a lesson before we played; like, he's great. He's a master at it, so I took the free lesson.

Most high-level models that I've ever met are actually well-travelled; they're cultured, and no guy laying a cheesy line on them is actually going to impact their world.

Physical intimacy is easy. Emotional intimacy is hard.

I feel like we can't pick who we fall in love with because if we could, we would all make better choices. Your heart just falls where it falls.

I have an extended family of close friends, guy and girls.

It's always exciting when you love something and you get the opportunity to share it with more people.

When I lived in India, I'd speak like an Indian to get good prices while shopping. I'm good with accents.

Live TV would terrify anybody.

The things that I care about have never changed.

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.

I move countries every three or four years. I was born in London, and we lived in Canada. Then we lived in Saudi Arabia until the Gulf War broke out, when we were forced to leave. Then we hop-scotched for a while from Holland back to Canada back to Saudi Arabia. Then there was D-day, so we had to get out again.

If someone wants to take me on a date? I don't know if I'd say no.

My family never told me like you have to be one thing. What do you want to be when you grow up? They think it's the most ridiculous question. You can be many, many things.

The thing about dating someone who listens to a totally different genre than you is they can help you find things to appreciate in that genre.

I guess there are all these women with a big secret - they're hiding men they are ashamed of. They come up to me and say: 'I've been dating this guy for six months in secret but none of my friends know. I can't give him up even though he's embarrassing.'

After I graduated in Vancouver, I had been working on a book about war-affected children and land mines with the foreign minister - he was working at a place on campus and hired me. I then got a job as a Human Rights and Refugees Officer in London, and I loved working there.

Working opposite Max Greenfield is the best job in the world. He's just incredible.

I worked at the United Nations.

America's Next Shuffle Cat contest proved to be not only entertaining, but a rare chance for me to have an opportunity to host and judge some of the nation's cutest cats as they strutted the catwalk.

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.'

I'm thrilled to partner with Gillette to help men understand what women want. If we're able to give them that information, and Gillette can give them the tools to get there, then we both win, and that's very exciting.

The first concert that my parents took me to was in this canyon in Saudi Arabia called Buttermilk Canyon. You sleep under the stars in the desert, and ex-pats - German, Swiss, Canadian, American - would play classical music that filled the whole canyon.

Think about it: if the world could see how much adoption means from a cat's point of view, shelters would be empty.

I think being called a cat lady is a compliment. It means you have adopted a tiny little maniac into your life.

It is so cool to think that there are two female, Indian actresses on prime-time American network television who are considered attractive and funny and smart.

I lived on the Greek side of Cypress, and I think that's also where my interest in politics really started to come alive. It was the first time that I was told I couldn't go somewhere: My grandfather's house is on the Turkish side, but we were not allowed to go there.

People know not to mess with my friends or my family because it's not going to work out well for you.

I'm not afraid of change, let's put it that way.

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

I am passionate about human rights.

Often women are pitted against each other for an easy joke, so they fight or steal each other's boyfriends. That's not really true to life.

I've been on stage since I was eight.

We all have our strengths and our failings.

Flirting is funny. And it's awkward and weird.

It's funny, I was talking to somebody who writes for a cop show, and he was saying how they aren't allowed to acknowledge Christmas, Thanksgiving, Valentine's Day, just because it has to be able to play forever.

The Weeknd is the dopeness.
