I'd love to direct, I'd love to produce. I'd love to learn all about it, and being around it all the time certainly helps.

All I watch is the Food Network. I took a cheese making class a few weeks ago, and I told my family and friends to only get me kitchen stuff on my birthday. I'm into every kind of cookbook and anything by Anthony Bourdain. I'd love to own a restaurant if I could find the right chef.

I think it is important to grow. Your fans are growing up with you whether you like it or not. You have to keep it fresh and exciting for them. You have to bring something new to the table each time.

I get insecure about a lot of things. In my line of work, unfortunately, your appearance is important, and I'm always like, "Am I going to the gym enough this month? Have I been taking care of myself?" I get insecure about things from time to time.

My mother was not the cook in the family. My dad was. I'd watch him behind the grill, and I said, 'If I ever make it and have enough money, I'm going to make sure I dine in the best restaurants.'

I still bite my nails.

I went to school every day, like everyone else, and I played baseball for my high school team. I was a part of a lot of different activities outside of school.
