I learned to cook by watching and helping my mother in the kitchen. I also learned by trial and error. Even though I'm big on recipes, I love to make up my own dishes and when you take a risk in the kitchen, you learn a lot about food!

I mean, I love to try and cook. I'm pretty good, but I'm not saying I'm great.

I haven't personally in my real life had many people close to me die, but my characters have, and I've had to live that as though it's real. And it can take a really big emotional toll on someone.

I'm progressive in some ways, old-fashioned in others. I like it when guys hold the door open and are sweet and thoughtful.

I didn't have a stage mom at all. I was the one who planned out my auditions and drove myself an hour and a half into the city.

I have a giant baking book, so I close my eyes and pick a random page. Whatever it is, I try to bake it!

When I work out, I feel happy, confident, and accomplished.
