“The only time I really go on the Internet is for recipes.”

I’m so used to being within 10 minutes of my family.

What do you do with your best friend? You do nothing.

I feel shy when people are fussing on me.

If I wasn’t an actress, I’d be a chef. I’d love to open a restaurant.

I didn’t have a boyfriend until I was 17. There were boys at school that I would find out later had a crush on me but I was too shy to talk to them.

I thought it was a fun thing to do, but we stepped outside my brother’s school and he was mortified!

I take a cooking class everywhere I travel. I find it’s the best way to get to know a culture.

My dream as a passionate cook has been to go to Le Cordon Bleu. Never could my most incredible dream have lived up to the experience.

I actually dress up more in my home than I do walking down the street just because it is so much fun to play dress up.

You can’t be an entrepreneur for other people. You can’t start a company for other people.

When I have bad days, I just eat lots of chocolate ice cream and dance to the ‘Lion King’ soundtrack. It’s really odd, but it’s true.

I’m passionate about anything I align myself with. You want to talk about chocolate chip cookies? I’m not going to open a chocolate chip cookie store, but I will talk your ear off about it.

I liken myself to a little girl having a tea party at the house all of the time.

If I could pass along anything that my mother or my sisters taught me, I feel like my kids would be very well off.

If you ever want something badly, let it go. If it comes back to you, then it’s yours forever. If it doesn’t, then it was never yours to begin with.

I love to photograph the gorgeous landscapes when I travel.

For me, justice is the prime condition of humanity.

Such was not quite the condition of Timothy’s on the Bayswater Road, for Timothy’s soul still had one foot in Timothy Forsyte’s body, and Smither kept the atmosphere unchanging, of camphor and port wine and house whose windows are only opened to air it twice a day.

I do like a bit of danger. Guns, cars, running, bullets. I’m up for it.

If there is a God what the hell is He for?

Although lynchings have steadily increased in number and barbarity during the last twenty years, there has been no single effort put forth by the many moral and philanthropic forces of the country to put a stop to this wholesale slaughter.

For me, as a 14-year-old aspiring to be in the NBA, I wanted to hear from players.

For me, it always goes back to something I learned in basketball.

For more than two generations, my family had never achieved their ambitions. Their talents were unappreciated and unused. They deserved better. They hadn’t done anything wrong; they just had some bad breaks.
