My mom is a huge woman of worth for me because she's been my idol my whole life. My mom was someone who juggled everything. She had her own career, she raised five kids, she was Superwoman... and she was never satisfied doing just one thing because... she probably just had too much energy.
Everybody on our cast is very musically talented, except for me.
I always appreciated the magnitude of my mother's imagination. She always saw beauty in what was broken, and she'd preserve it.
I need good friends who can say, 'I love you to death, but you look terrible in that, and you need to change right now.'
I take a cooking class everywhere I travel. I find it's the best way to get to know a culture.
I think that when you smell good, you feel good. You know how when you're in a room and someone else smells good, you're like, 'Where is that?'
I'm no editor, no artisan, no expert. And certainly no arbiter of what you should buy, wear, or eat.
If I wasn't an actress, I'd be a chef. I'd love to open a restaurant.
In the olden days, a couple could be in every movie together, but it's just not like that anymore.
People just wanna talk. They wanna create negative things about you and your life and make up things. You can't let them affect you!
The only time I really go on the Internet is for recipes.
What can I say? I feel good when I'm wearing heels. I feel sexier, attractive.
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 tend to like to make my statements more in fashion than in beauty, because what I normally respond to is when someone looks really effortless and deconstructed, beauty-wise, and they're fashion is really grand. Someone like Kate Moss is a great example.
