I never thought I would be one of those wacky chicks who say, 'I loved my labor,' but I loved every part of it. It was the best day of my life.

My great-great-grandfather was a shah back in the 1800s. Unfortunately, I don't have any gold coins or jewels to show for it.

I like a man who can come out and say he's nervous on the first date. I think that would be really cute.
Sarah Shahi -
I'm used to a lot of love scenes. I'm used to something that requires me to kick up my heels and wink-wink, flirt-flirt with a twirl of my skirt.
Sarah Shahi -
I actually got more attention from one episode of 'The Sopranos' than I did from two years of 'The L Word.'
Sarah Shahi -
So my views on equality are pretty obvious. I mean I did play a highly complex lesbian techno DJ on TV, but I know it's not always easy to come out and tell the world where you stand.

I'm a wife and a mother. I don't want to be immature; I have to be ready at all times.
Sarah Shahi -
I have an incredibly dark, mysterious, witchy side and another side that's very bubbly and cheerleader-esque.

I'm a girl in boy's clothing. I like to get a little rough. I prefer mud to makeup. That's me in a nutshell.

Cheerleading was my way in. It was one of the most rigorous audition processes ever. It definitely groomed me for Hollywood.
Sarah Shahi -
I feel that as the world becomes more and more multicultural, it's a good tool to be able to speak another language.
Sarah Shahi -
I really got into 'The Walking Dead.' That was genius. And I have to say, my husband is on 'Shameless,' and I think it's a brilliant show.
Sarah Shahi -
I can take a newspaper and make it a lethal weapon.
Sarah Shahi -
Honestly, as an actor, all I need to know, the way I kind of look at a scene, is like a puzzle. There are certain puzzle pieces that are bigger than others, and all I need to know is if this is going to fit here to make this part of the puzzle work.

NFL cheerleading is harder than most people think. They train up to six hours every day with games on Sundays. They gave me a great work ethic.
Sarah Shahi -
I hate girls who complain, 'Oh, guys are looking at me!' But I love it when guys check me out. It just feels great.
Sarah Shahi -
I'm attracted to playing characters that have flaws.
Sarah Shahi -
I saw Madeleine Stowe from Revenge recently, and she totally blew me away. And growing up I loved Morticia Addams and Lily Munster on one hand, and Jeannie from I Dream of Jeannie on the other. Two completely different ends of the spectrum, kind of like me.
Sarah Shahi -
I'm a tomboy myself and have always been incredibly athletic.
Sarah Shahi -
I know it sounds weird, but my definition of 'sexy' has changed as I've gotten older. And being smart and informed makes me feel sexier than any outfit.

Just because we are women doesn't mean the only roles we can play are that of the finger-shaking girlfriend.
Sarah Shahi -
I think it's important to love what you do and have a good time with it. I go to work every day and have a blast.
Sarah Shahi -
I did a lot of theater growing up, and in college I was in the musical 'Chicago.'

It's fun to work on location because you get the look and feel of everything, but it's nice to be on a stage because you can control the elements.
