“My mom modeled and made clothes, so I always had such an appreciation for design.”

Everybody on our cast is very musically talented, except for me.

So, it’s cool that, yes, Hal Jordan is a superhero, but my character is a real-world hero in her own life.

Since my kitchen is the most important part of my home, I want to be creative and innovative, not only in its aesthetic, but also in the tools that I’m using to cook.

There is something about New Orleans that embodies passion; I’ve never seen that before.

Wanting to be an actor and wanting to be famous are different.

I have smuggled so many ingredients across so many borders, like shallot confit from Thailand, or a new sauce from New Orleans not approved by the FDA.

You can’t really go wrong as long as you’re true to yourself.

I grew up with the mindset that when you get home from work, you go to dinner and watch a movie. I don’t want to be going to a club and taking off my panties.

I always want to wear clothes that my children will one day look back on and say, ‘Oh, you looked amazing – why didn’t you keep that?’ Not, ‘Oh my God – I can’t believe you wore that.’

I have a tight-knit Southern family.

Soy lattes get me through my day!

It’s definitely attractive when a man can dress well.

I think that when you smell good, you feel good. You know how when you’re in a room and someone else smells good, you’re like, ‘Where is that?’

If I could spit out a litter of kids, I would.

Honestly, I’m so sick of myself.

I should hope I dress differently at 25 than I did when I graduated high school. I hope I never stop changing.

I look at Google and think they have a strong academic culture. Elegant solutions to complex problems.

I have no faith in human perfectibility. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active – not more happy – nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

I have met many minds able to store and translate a pregnantly large amount of information, yet they haven’t an ounce of talent for wisdom or the appreciation of passion.

Whenever someone creates something with all of their heart, then that creation is given a soul.

I think older people can appreciate my music because I really show my heart when I sing, and it’s not corny. I think I can grow as an artist, and my fans will grow with me.

Sometimes you have to forget what’s gone, appreciate what still remains, and look forward to what’s coming next.

Getting there was super hard. Very proud of Tesla team!
