I used to watch 'The Jetsons' growing up. I used to think that this woman, Rosie, the robot housekeeper, was going to exist. I think we're far away from that happening.

I went to a special public school that was much more focused on academics and learning. My two best teachers were in accounting and calculus, so I fell in love with that, which made me want to go into business.

I try to take moments to get brain food - I read, I listen to talk radio - and fill my own self with learning.

In the future, when I come home, most of the things that I need to worry about are solved so I can spend time with my family.

As a child I sometimes used to travel to the West Bank to visit my family, so I know what the checkpoints felt like. I knew what it was like to live under occupation.

Now I am ready to set new goals and start a new career for myself outside of the ring.

When you're in your 30s and actively pursuing a career and a home life, a wife and children, you're busy doing as opposed to busy thinking. As you get older, even as you don't have as much time, I think you tend to think more and reflect more on what is happening in your own life.

Dance India Dance' is family to me. I actually miss the madness whenever the season is not on air.
