I love writing, directing and photography; if I could figure out a way to put the three things together, that's what I would love to do.

I'm a total control freak and love to participate in the design of every single aspect of life.

I'm such an avid magazine reader - music, art, beauty magazines - and I found that food and restaurants were pouring into everything I cared about. Whether it was the pop-up concept, or some mysterious mini-mall restaurant, I got swept up in the sexy romance of the food movement.

School feeding not only fills stomachs, but has a proven track record of boosting enrollment, attendance and academic performance. For just pennies a day per child, this program changes lives - and ultimately can impact the futures of poor countries around the world in a profound way.

I always like worlds where you could be in several different time periods.

I can cook about two things. I can boil hot water for the only pasta I can make.

When I lay my head on the pillow at night I can say I was a decent person today. That's when I feel beautiful.
