I was a very studious student and usually got A's. I did not like school, because I wasn't popular - I was a nerd.
From Nia Vardalos
The popular girls let me hang out with them because I was funny. They told me that. 'You're not popular, but you're funny.' Now all my friends are funny.
We were so unprepared that when my husband took off to get groceries, and we'd adopted a 3-year-old, he came back with baby formula, a steak and a teething ring. We had no idea what we were doing. But you learn. There's no way to fully prepare. Just eyes wide open - jump.
There's a feeling sometimes in motherhood that you're alone in what you're going through, and none of us are alone. We're all going through the same thing.
I've had designers say to my face, 'Oh, I want to dress you now that you're skinny.' And that's really rude.
I grew up looking for myself onscreen and never could find myself. And I believe that I am supposed to be Toula to show people that it's O.K. to be different.

It was a sad process for me to become a mom, and a long process. I felt so embarrassed that I couldn't have a biological child.
I think it's almost easier to do a kissing scene with someone you don't know.
I have found that every family has a strange remedy for any situation - from 'Use Fantastic to get the scuff off your patent leather shoes!' to 'Soak an aspirin in a glass of water to get rid of a migraine.'
