I had a nanny growing up in Morocco, and my parents encouraged me to put myself in her shoes sometimes.

I like anti-hero women. Negative female characters interest me.

When you become a 'public person,' I find it very difficult to keep following social media. It is too harsh, too violent. I only read newspapers online.

I think maternal instinct is a male construct that has been used for centuries to keep women in their place, at home.

My day job may be exhausting, but cooking is my peace. My dream is to have a big family with lots of grandkids. And we'll get together every Sunday for a hearty dinner at our house, and we'll all live in flavorful bliss, happily ever after.

We have lived together for more than 18 years. Malaika is like family to us even after separation. We have a son together. We are responsible for him.

I have always felt intuitively that somehow such wealth cannot be the privy of any one person or any one family.

But however the forms of family life have changed and the number expanded, the role of the family has remained constant and it continues to be the major institution through which children pass en route to adulthood.
