The predictable thing about 'The Good Wife' is how unpredictable 'The Good Wife' is.

I like to do new things, so I always take on roles that I feel will keep me on my toes. I never want to pigeon myself, so I always like to surprise myself. I believe in versatility and so I would play anything as long as it was a challenge.

From Archie Panjabi

I am one of the new characters in the brand new series of 'Postman Pat.' It has been a joy to do.

From Archie Panjabi

Coming to New York is like a big hug, everyone is so welcoming. There's something about here, everyone makes you feel so at home. I miss my family of course, but I don't miss London that much. I was worried, but I feel really at home. Everyone says that who comes here from London, but I didn't believe them.

From Archie Panjabi

I knew from a young age that I wanted to be an actor. I never even thought about other careers. The acting field is certainly not the path many Indian parents encourage their children to take, but mine were very supportive. They wanted me to have an education, but understood that this is what I wanted to do.

From Archie Panjabi

There is a big misconception about arranged marriage. Yes, it can mean that you meet someone and then have to marry them, but this was my mother saying, 'I'm going to introduce you to so-and-so - If you don't like them, fair enough.'

From Archie Panjabi

I've always been quite psychic and believe there's a reason why things happen and that we need to learn from them.

From Archie Panjabi

My mother wanted to be a teacher when she was young, and my father didn't approve of it, so she fought very hard to become one. And she did it. So when I said I wanted to become an actress, my mother was very supportive. She always said to me, 'There's no such thing as 'can't.'

From Archie Panjabi

Sometimes my ethnicity is relevant, other times not. I definitely get the best of both worlds.

From Archie Panjabi

I'd love to say I made the smart decision of picking projects that became hits, but with 'The Good Wife,' I read the script and something inside me said, 'I love this, I want to do this.'
