I really like getting the person who is terrified of cooking into the kitchen and showing them that cooking can be both indulgent and fun.

Men and Pilates - it's like the hardest thing on the planet to them! They're not used to getting those muscles. Core and butt and stuff - they're so confused.

I'm weird about fruity desserts like lemony, acidic, zesty... I don't like lemon things and orange things, really.

I like serving family-style or setting up a buffet. Everyone just goes to town, scoops their own food, and mixes their own drinks. You know how people love to come and watch you in the kitchen now and talk your ear off? If you give them something to do and something to drink, they don't do that as much.

There's a green room at the Oscars. It's really small, very warm, and it's really fun because you get to see everyone just lounging on couches. It's right before you go out to present, so it's everyone in there. And then they have this crudite section, and cheeses and crackers.

I am paid a good amount of money to not blink for 12 hours. It's fun, but I don't take it very seriously.
