“I love how British guys dress for the cold.”

I love getting into people’s brains and understanding the creative impetus for something.

My dad’s a lighting director. Growing up in Hollywood, I was around the entertainment industry all the time. I knew I’d end up in show business in some capacity, eventually.

If we treated ourselves as well as we treated our best friend, can you imagine?

I’ve never wanted to be a lady who lunches – I’ve always wanted to be a woman who works.

As I’ve gotten older, I like longer dresses, but my legs come up to my ears, and I’m not very tall, so when I wear a short skirt,I’ve got to be really conscious.

My mom is a yoga instructor: 100% black with dreadlocks.

When I get ready to go out, it’s half hour and we’re out of the door. I don’t want to waste time getting ready: I want to go and have fun.

I pride myself in figuring out how to elevate a dish with a little preserved lemon or, then, a sprinkle of Maldon salt.

My parents always told me if I believed something was wrong, I should try to fix it.

You have to take care of yourself so you can manage the workload of a very, very full plate.

My mother was a free-spirited clinical therapist, and I had the most hard-working father, a television lighting director by trade. My mum raised me to be a global citizen, with eyes open to sometimes harsh realities.

I grew up with that farm-to-table dining before it was sweeping the nation. I do think there’s some value to really throwing yourself into food and embracing where it comes from.

Once you develop a comfort level with someone, that translates on camera.

I never want to lose touch with reality. I won’t push $100 candles just because. I realized that I could create a hub of positivity and affirmation.

I think the biggest part of being a girl boss in the office, at home, or anywhere you go is just knowing your value.

I’m really big on day dates. If you go for a stroll, have a picnic or lunch with a glass of wine – it doesn’t get better than that.

Nothing is easy in cricket. Maybe when you watch it on TV, it looks easy. But it is not. You have to use your brain and time the ball.

You can get by on charm for about 15 minutes. After that, you better know something.

It doesn’t matter to me how I look on screen. What matters to me is how I connect with the audience.

Remember that almost everything looks better after a good night’s sleep.

I cannot recite Hanuman chalisa at home and wear a skull cap outside just to attract votes. It is my responsibility that, without losing my identity, I must ensure a peaceful environment for people of all faiths so that they can follow their beliefs.

I have designs I like applied to my helmet, motorcycle, riding suits, gloves,and boots. I have a designer friend of mine put the designs on them for me. I think a livery on the helmet is significant in expressing a rider’s personality.

My bat does the talking when I am on the field, off it, I let my style do it!

You ready? I have gold teeth, I have braids, I’m wearing Rick Owens moon boots, I have rips in my denim, a biker vest, I love artsy girls, my favourite artists are Jimi Hendrix and John Lennon. I’m obsessed with being different.
