You know, I never really paid attention to sports, which, coming from the mecca of football in Texas, is kind of odd. I played sports, but I was nerdy. Having a single mother, the pressure was on me to get good grades and a scholarship and go to college.
From Sarah Shahi
I did a lot of theater growing up, and in college I was in the musical 'Chicago.'
My great-great-grandfather was a shah back in the 1800s. Unfortunately, I don't have any gold coins or jewels to show for it.
To be beautiful in Texas, you had to be blonde and blue-eyed and have a name like Ann.
When I was in my early 20s, I looked towards exterior things to make me feel sexy - guys, clothes, shoes, etc. Now it's all about how I feel internally.
My mother raised three kids on her own, so I was taught that to be a working mom was a good thing.
My parents divorced when I was 10, but when my father was there, he was trying to create almost like a little prison for me.
My biggest fantasy was to have a pie thrown in my face, and I always said whoever did that, that's the guy I'd marry.
I don't really like 'acting' - I like things to feel as natural as possible.
To sit next to Walter Hill, and to be able to exchange ideas back and forth, and for him to be able to tell you that he likes what you're doing - I don't know. I kind of pinch myself.
