Once I got in the public eye there was no going back.

I don't think that money makes you any better brought up than I was.

I don't see the point in being bitter.

If somebody tells me I'm famous I say, 'I'm not.' I can't see myself as famous and I don't think I'll ever call myself famous. I definitely don't feel famous.

But I am Armenian and I understand what it is to lose a country and lose a family and have massacres and genocides and everything against my people.

I've been performing since I was a child; my mother would have to pull me aside and tell me that I wasn't onstage. I was a cheerleader, president of choir, and in the school play.

I think if you're the son or daughter of successful actors and actresses, it's a double pressure. More is expected of you.

My dad was in a Beatles cover band. My mom wore Candies and belly buttons. The people in our family were very glamorous. They wore pearls like Jackie O.
