Priyanka Chopra, or as fans now call her, Alex Parrish, has stated that she aims to work around the globe and not just one country. Currently busy shooting for the second season of American TV show 'Quantico', Priyanka said, "I'm still doing it (Bollywood). Two continents. I'm not okay with just one country. I want the world."

The actress has gathered applause for her outstanding roles in Hindi films like 'Fashion', and 'Mary Kom'. Now playing a CIA agent in the US series, Priyanka said it was tough shifting to America and choosing to work there. "Leaving my country and coming to a completely different country, that's always difficult. I'm alone, my family is not here, my friends are not here, though my cast always tries to make me feel really comfortable whenever, we have Diwali or any of our holidays. They always try and make it really festive for me." She added, "Their hair and make up trailer is decorated, because everyone knows I am away from home. But that was hard and television is a huge commitment. So, you know leaving your country, coming here, I wasn't sure."

PeeCee's huge Hollywood debut in a negative role is also on its way, with 'Baywatch' where she will share the big screen with Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron. Talking about the Pamela Anderson-starrer, Priyanka said, "It was massive in India. I think more than David Hasselhof, everyone knew who Pamela Anderson was. Definitely did! And the show, people loved watching the show. I guess it was the representation of the great American dream at that time."
