“I want babies. Lots of babies. Of course!”

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.

When I see old movies with women in floor-length dressing gowns, or when they’re going to the store and they’ve got a pillbox hat with a net over the eyes and white gloves,

One of the very few things that I do every single day is put on fragrance. If I’m not wearing make-up, if my hair’s not done, if I’m walking around in pyjamas – I still put my fragrance on. I will brush my teeth and put on my perfume.

Design, whether it’s on your body or in your home, is the same thing. It’s mixing different colors, different textures, and unexpected patterns – elements that you wouldn’t often put together in an interesting way.
