Most high-level models that I’ve ever met are actually well-travelled; they’re cultured, and no guy laying a cheesy line on them is actually going to impact their world. – Hannah Simone
People know not to mess with my friends or my family because it’s not going to work out well for you. – Hannah Simone
I had two different degrees: One in International Relations/Political Science and another degree in Radio and Television Production. – Hannah Simone
I went to high schools in four different countries. The gift is that you can constantly reinvent yourself. I still feel that freedom. One day, I’ll wear a dress I got in India; the next, Converse sneakers and jeans. – Hannah Simone
I know quite a few friends who are models, and they’re usually really smart, sharp, world-savvy people. – Hannah Simone
America’s Next Shuffle Cat contest proved to be not only entertaining, but a rare chance for me to have an opportunity to host and judge some of the nation’s cutest cats as they strutted the catwalk. – Hannah Simone
If you’re not a workout person, go there 75 percent fast asleep. Anybody who has ever been in one of my workout classes knows I’m there practically in my pajamas! – Hannah Simone
The song that makes me the happiest when someone sings it is Cher’s ‘If I Could Turn Back Time.’ – Hannah Simone
My mom used to call me a parrot, because the way I spoke would change in every country we’d go to. – Hannah Simone
My cats, Jacob and Frank, mean the world to me, and by partnering once again with Fresh Step with the power of Febreze, I’m raising awareness for its Million Meow Mission to help every shelter cat find a forever home. – Hannah Simone
The first concert that my parents took me to was in this canyon in Saudi Arabia called Buttermilk Canyon. You sleep under the stars in the desert, and ex-pats – German, Swiss, Canadian, American – would play classical music that filled the whole canyon. – Hannah Simone
Growing up, I remember watching TV, and I didn’t see a lot of people who looked like me, especially someone who passed as a glamorous model on a mainstream TV show. – Hannah Simone
If you look at my career path, I was a human rights and refugees officer for the United Nations. I helped research a book for Lloyd Axworthy. I’ve worked in coffee shops. I’ve sold clothes. I’ve hosted TV shows, and now I’m acting. – Hannah Simone
It’s aspirational for me. I’ve lived as a cat lady. I’m happy to be a cat lady. I’ll continue to be a cat lady. Just bring them all to my house, and I’ll keep them all, no problem. – Hannah Simone
I move countries every three or four years. I was born in London, and we lived in Canada. Then we lived in Saudi Arabia until the Gulf War broke out, when we were forced to leave. Then we hop-scotched for a while from Holland back to Canada back to Saudi Arabia. Then there was D-day, so we had to get out again. – Hannah Simone
You can spend the day at work, but when you go home, and you’re in the role of a father or a husband, you don’t have to remind yourself that you shouldn’t tell your wife to hold the messages. If you do, that marriage is not going to last very long. – Hannah Simone
I’m just a really big fan of street style. When I went to New York for Fashion Week, it was great to watch everyone on the runway and see all the beautiful clothes and to get ideas, but again, I think it’s just about being open and looking around. – Hannah Simone
I was born in England, but then I lived in Calgary, Saudi Arabia, Cyprus, India, Vancouver, London, Toronto, and now L.A. – Hannah Simone
That is the most liberating thing to feel as an actor: that you don’t have to hold back or be afraid. A bit might not work, but it doesn’t matter. – Hannah Simone
I played ping-pong with Prince. That’s pretty surreal. He gave me a lesson before we played; like, he’s great. He’s a master at it, so I took the free lesson. – Hannah Simone
I lived on the Greek side of Cypress, and I think that’s also where my interest in politics really started to come alive. It was the first time that I was told I couldn’t go somewhere: My grandfather’s house is on the Turkish side, but we were not allowed to go there. – Hannah Simone
As a girl growing up in Cyprus, Saudi Arabia and then India, the idea of cracking the industry in America seemed crazy. So thankfully, the way I was raised was to be an open person. – Hannah Simone
Millions of cats are in shelters across the country waiting for a loving parent or family to bring them home. – Hannah Simone
