"So I am not a “foozool” person. That’s a lie. I am. With my friends, I am. with my husband, I am. If someone’s texting, I’m like, “Who are you texting?” But I don’t ask a lot of questions of people, but it’s such a thing in our culture. People are very upset with me because I call it part of Persian culture. Obviously, it’s not a part of our greater culture. It’s like we have an amazing, beautiful centuries-old culture. But we like to know what’s going on with everybody.

We go on set with him, which is really fun. And, yeah, it’s a really fun little comedic, funny little thing that I’m doing. It’s on YouTube." - Tara Gerami
