I never had planned for my life and my career.

I come from a family of refugees. I'm used to surviving and going with the flow, and what happened to me was just life.

I didn't want to be an actress. I wasn't trying to be in film or an art gallery for me.

In TV, you don't know everything. The writers only give you scripts before you shoot the episodes. They keep you on your nerve.

I am part of this generation with 'Pirates of the Caribbean' and 'Peter Pan.' I think we all grew up in this culture of pirates.

Although I come from a family who are Muslim - my mother is Egyptian, my father is Palestinian - my mother only puts a veil on her head when she has a bad hair day.
