My family is probably too involved in my life because they are my best friends, but I love that.
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. The food, the lesson, the chef, the ingredients - all the best of the best. I see why Le Cordon Bleu is world-renowned.
I'll never forget the time my mother showed up with her best friend and two daughters, and all four of us dressed up in matching clothes, shoes and hats to go pick up my brother from school. I thought it was a fun thing to do, but we stepped outside my brother's school and he was mortified!
What do you do with your best friend? You do nothing.
I take a cooking class everywhere I travel. I find it's the best way to get to know a culture.
Creating something I can use is the best stress reliever.
My dad actually makes the best cookies. My mum is great baker, too, but doesn't share them - it's tantalising! Luckily for me though, my dad shares his!
People want things with meaning. I know that because I want that.
People think I'm goofy. I don't have that Angelina Jolie air to me. I wish that I did, and that's an insecurity of mine.
On average, I order about three meals for myself in one sitting.
Often you see people on the red carpet with tight up-dos, but that makes me feel stiff.
Ngila Dixon is such an incredible costume designer. She's such a cool, stylish woman. She has such an understanding of character.
My mom taught me this really great beauty tip. She used to put oil or mayonnaise on the bottom half of her hair before she would shower.
My mom and dad always taught acting, so instead of getting me babysitters, they would just bring me to class.
