“I can seriously spend five hours making one dinner.”

I could have sexual chemistry with vinegar.

Everyone has an opinion of who you are and what your relationship is about, things that you’ve done or didn’t do in your relationship – and it’s just all crap, really. Things that are written about it are all crap.

I don’t hang out with the Hollywood cool people. I’m not out trying to make friends with people because they’re famous.

Movies are the shadiest business in the world.

You have to be the best of whatever you are, but successful, cool actresses come in all shapes and sizes.

There’s no such thing as a perfect guy. I think it would be strange if somebody was absolutely everything you always wanted, because then there’d be no challenge. Also, you’d feel inferior.

I don’t really have a problem with just wanting sex. Never have. Even when I was a virgin and wanted to marry the first guy who I slept with, I never passed any judgments about that. But now I’m done [with dating around].

I like to cook. I would probably go to culinary school in France if I had time.

Just being a mother is making me a big, weepy mess.

Initially let your food do the talking. You’ll be surprised how far you go in a short period of time.

I hid myself in food.

Friends, music, and food is a combination that makes this world an even more beautiful place.

I am the biggest lofthouse cookie stan.
