I grew up half the time in a small town called Mart, Texas, and half the time in L.A., because I was acting.
I'm fortunate to have a home in both Mumbai and Delhi, and to be a part of cinema and the political world. Both are different and engaging.
I'm a family man. I have a daughter and a wife, and I spend more time on the road with my wrestling family than I do with my actual household and my immediate family.
I used to live on a reserve, but I went back and forth between my reserve and Ottawa where my father lived, so I kind of had a double life growing up.
In the daytime, I was expected to be the straight-A student. I was expected to be college bound. I was expected to be a great big sister. And then at night, I was just a club kid.
Politics is politics; art is art. If you play a political role, you have to stop being an artist.
Relationships are hard. If as an actor you marry an engineer or a doctor, it's really hard for them because they don't understand what your life is like. We live two lives. We have a 'reel' life and a real life.
In grad school, I led a bit of a double life. I don't mean gender-wise - I just mean intellectually.
You know, I use organic products, but I get [laser treatments]. It's what makes life interesting, finding the balance between cigarettes and tofu.
Home was extremely normal. But my dad's life was quite exotic, really. When I went away to stay with him, it was a different world. I never wanted to be in that world. I was much happier with my mates at home.
I love being in London, where I live, for the shops, the bars and the clubs - but I equally enjoy going to my mum's house in Ayrshire and being able to sit on a cliff by the sea.
I married a politician. But I thought it would be tough for my children to have two parents as politicians.
I will also fulfill my profession commitments as an actor as I would not let the actor in me die after joining politics.
