I met my wife, Nia Vardalos, at The Second City, and she was chomping at the bit to move to L.A. I was afraid of having to start all over again, which happened. But we got lucky.

I worked with her on the second season of Dark Angel in Vancouver, one of my first real jobs.

It was important to me to become day-to-day fluent and functional in another language, and about 10 years ago, I went to Rome for the first time and felt an instant gut connection and wanted to get to know the city.

I moved away for three years and went to Trinidad where I met my wife, Athena.

I thought of Second City as just the greatest therapeutic job anybody could ever dream of having.

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

I knew Anais Nin, who called me after I had been away for a few years. She was seeking help because at that time no one would give her a decent review. She was made fun of.

I was privileged to know the late, great Miss Etta James, and I did get a chance to spend some time with her and hang out with her.

When you get out of school, you just go where the wind blows: Here's an audition; there's an audition. And before you know it, you're where you're supposed to be. And that was Second City.
