I always feel in a funny place when I'm really asked to inform people, so I just try to take the more absurdist route - like, "this is how you could do it, but it's actually turning into a cat now. This might happen at home I guess, but it probably won't."

It's very meditative to watch Food Network shows. I mean, you might be taking notes, but you're probably not. It's meditative to watch someone cook, just like it is to watch your mother cook, or anyone cook.

I watched a lot of cooking shows when I was younger on PBS and TLC and those channels. It's a very cool genre of television.

I used to like eating frozen corn straight out of the bag. But I also love microwaving frozen corn and adding butter and sugar and garlic powder and chili powder to it. And sometimes I just like to microwave it and add a little bit of hot sauce to it. My friends always laugh at me when they catch me eating it.

I look up to my father, because he's very, very experimental in his cuisine, and he puts a lot of love into things. He's the best. To me.

It seems like it happens pretty often - there's always something that happens that's bad. About 40 percent of the food I make doesn't come out so good, only because I'm experimenting and it just doesn't work out right. It's always a learning experience.
