Performing live actually thrills me. Just get me a stage, get me a mic, and I'm going to be happy.

You've got to want to be married to the person you're married to.

I would go to school and be American and then come home and be Greek.

I always did sing. It's always been something I love to do but it has also been the most private and most secret thing that you don't really want to let the world in on.

The Greek side of me definitely loves a good meal, a lot of laughing, loud discussions.

My mother is Greek and my father is Bulgarian. I am a first-generation American and native Los Angeleno. I was born and raised in Hollywood.

I always wanted to sing. I didn't know how to do it. I didn't know how to make the singing thing happen.

I've played so many moms, best friends, sisters and understanding people.
