What good is my parents' wealth and education and upbringing if I'm not contributing to the world?

Education liberates a woman.

Don't give up your dreams.

An Academy Award nomination is stuff dreams are made of.

The day I won an Emmy was also the day my father passed away. I received a call from my sister on the way to the ceremony and had to turn my car around and catch the first flight back to Karachi.

I'm generally quite an angry person, and I like to channel my anger toward something creative.
