“Honestly, I am a shy person.”

I never really cook from recipes. But the worst is when something turns out great and I can’t figure out how to make it again!

All I need is my Chanel dress, my Louboutins, and some red lipstick.

I’ve kissed just three people in my life, other than stuff that I’ve done for TV or movies. I know – I’m weird!

To be around me, you must love food, or I’m the most obnoxious person you’ve ever met.

I always like hair being a little messy because I think there’s something appealing about the whimsy of putting on a gown with any hair or make-up – just stepping into it, and you’re ready.

My mother had very humble beginnings – to put it mildly. Her dad built their home out of timber that he cut down on their land. No heat, no air-conditioning – ‘no foolishness,’ as he would call it.

I had the Buffalo shoes, a customised Baby Spice necklace – when I say custom-made, it was made out of plastic from the local mall – and a Union Jack dress.

Actually, I’m happiest in Williams-Sonoma in New York. That’s a wonderful cooking store.

Every relationship you have, you’re learning and growing and taking something from that.

I have a strong sense of myself. That gives me a sense of security, you know?

The food, the lesson, the chef, the ingredients – all the best of the best. I see why Le Cordon Bleu is world-renowned.

The Gucci woman can be the equestrian woman, the woman in the suit, the woman in the flowy bohemian dress, or the couture woman.

I would have to read the script and feel for a character. And if I feel in my gut for a character, I know that that’s somebody I have to play.

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.
