Zitat des Tages von Hannah Simone:
As a girl growing up in Cyprus, Saudi Arabia and then India, the idea of cracking the industry in America seemed crazy. So thankfully, the way I was raised was to be an open person.
I think being called a cat lady is a compliment. It means you have adopted a tiny little maniac into your life.
My life is so crazy! I learned early on to really embrace change and enjoy the ride.
The thing about dating someone who listens to a totally different genre than you is they can help you find things to appreciate in that genre.
I played ping-pong with Prince. That's pretty surreal. He gave me a lesson before we played; like, he's great. He's a master at it, so I took the free lesson.
Flirting is funny. And it's awkward and weird.
People know not to mess with my friends or my family because it's not going to work out well for you.
My mum won't speak to me unless I speak properly on the phone. I have to speak 'American' for work, so often the accent comes through when I'm not at work.
I've never been on a date.
The song that makes me the happiest when someone sings it is Cher's 'If I Could Turn Back Time.'
I love when I go back to London. I love how the girls dress there.
When people tell really good stories in songs, I really like it.
I should give a TED Talk about my TV-marathoning skills. It's my sport.
While I was growing up all over, in all my different schools, I was always doing theater, auditioning for plays.
Indian weddings, visually, they're so stunning.
I am passionate about human rights.
Think about it: if the world could see how much adoption means from a cat's point of view, shelters would be empty.
We all have our strengths and our failings.
Growing up, I remember watching TV, and I didn't see a lot of people who looked like me, especially someone who passed as a glamorous model on a mainstream TV show.
I'm not afraid of change, let's put it that way.
Once you get a kitten, the natural thing you do is take a billion photos.
I went to Coachella once, and it was only to go see Leonard Cohen. I got in the car and sat through all the crazy traffic in L.A. to get there - instead of a two hour drive, it takes, like, six hours. Then I watched his set and turned around and left. I just so wanted to see him perform in the desert.
I had two different degrees: One in International Relations/Political Science and another degree in Radio and Television Production.
I am a little obsessed with surprise kitty.
When I lived in London, I worked at the U.N. for a while as its human rights and refugees officer. I have two degrees, and my second was in radio. I was a programmer and news reporter in Canada. My CV looks bananas.
That is the most liberating thing to feel as an actor: that you don't have to hold back or be afraid. A bit might not work, but it doesn't matter.
I would not give up my eyelash curler.
Clinique's Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm in Chunky Cherry is perfect for people with my skin tone.
I worked at the United Nations.
It's always exciting when you love something and you get the opportunity to share it with more people.
It's funny, I was talking to somebody who writes for a cop show, and he was saying how they aren't allowed to acknowledge Christmas, Thanksgiving, Valentine's Day, just because it has to be able to play forever.
I dated someone in the '90s who was really into Metallica, and I remember thinking at the time, 'That just sounds so heavy and hard.' But they have great ballads! Great ballads.
I went to high schools in four different countries. The gift is that you can constantly reinvent yourself. I still feel that freedom. One day, I'll wear a dress I got in India; the next, Converse sneakers and jeans.
Physical intimacy is easy. Emotional intimacy is hard.
I remember the first time my friend Colin Lewis, who used to be a judge with me on a show on MuchMusic called 'disBAND,' told me, 'I think I just found your next favorite artist to adore.' He sent me The Weeknd, and he was completely spot on. The Weeknd is literally on every playlist I have.
The first concert that my parents took me to was in this canyon in Saudi Arabia called Buttermilk Canyon. You sleep under the stars in the desert, and ex-pats - German, Swiss, Canadian, American - would play classical music that filled the whole canyon.
