"I'm learning a little bit as time goes on. Yesterday Alexis was talking about how Armenians are, the culture, lots of self-made, a lot of business people. They have this aspect. It's fun. It's interesting. As I said, I feel like I'm an honorary Armenian because of my husband and daughter. "Everyone that I see that is Armenian is super proud of me. It's like, Wow, this is kind of cool. It's really always good to learn new and different cultures."
