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 can read a four-page scene once and have it memorized. It's a skill you learn in school: disposable cramming.

I really don't like the gym. I like experiences, so I take any chance I get to go on a bicycle or on a hike.

My family is probably too involved in my life because they are my best friends, but I love that.

You can't be an entrepreneur for other people. You can't start a company for other people. You have to love it more than you ever thought of loving something that wasn't a human being. The demands will kick you down and rob your life - but yet, it is so rewarding.

I've never gone on a date... If I've ever had a man in my life, it's because I know him well, and he really means something to me.

I was in a show choir. I can't sing or dance to save my life, but I was very passionate. People said my parents paid the choir director to let me in. It was actually the parents who started that one!

I was always observing my siblings and hearing stories about their lives that turned out to be helpful as an actress.

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!

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!

So, it's cool that, yes, Hal Jordan is a superhero, but my character is a real-world hero in her own life.

I'm lucky enough to lead a very active life, so I'm always on the go.
