“I really enjoy being vulnerable, and it's how I connect with other people, and part of how I do that is through food, by sharing something that I feel is very intimate and personal because it's something that I create out of nothing.”
“It's important to go into the grocery store with a plan and a list. But it's a skeleton - you need to know how to deviate from it and adapt it to what ingredients are available and fresh.”
“I'm a big Hemingway and Salinger fan.”
“I'm all about tucking in T-shirts.”
“Food can offer a moment of pure emotional pleasure in an otherwise hard and difficult world.”
“I was a pretty damn good waiter.”
“It's weird, but people like it when I eat things.”
“There's a deodorant I wear called Baux, from L'Occitane, that is super nostalgic because it reminds me of being in Greece in the summer. When I put it on, I'm immediately taken back to that feeling of having salty skin and hair from the ocean and the taste of fresh fish.”
“I do plenty of workouts - HIIT, spinning classes, Pilates, yoga.”
“Food not only connects us at the idyllic dinner table setting with family and friends: it is also part of our mundane, daily transit to and from work.”
“Salt is so, so, so important. If that's the one thing everyone remembers, every step of the way, whenever I cook, I try to incorporate salt.”
“For every new thing that I buy, I have to throw something out.”
“My sexuality's something that's intimate. It's not anything that I'm ashamed of.”
“I fell in love with The Strokes when I was 20, and I'm 34 now and still listen to them religiously.”
“My T-shirts wrinkle because I sweat a lot.”
“Jicama, which is one of my favorite things in the summer, looks like a really horrendous root vegetable, which it is - it's like a hybrid of a potato and an apple, but you can eat it raw.”
“How I show love has always been through food. That, for me, has been the foundation of how I express gratitude for anybody around me.”
“I love fantasizing about what my next meal is going to be; it's probably my favorite topic of conversation.”
“When I was studying at the Neighborhood Playhouse, I would overdraft my bank account and not have enough money to buy groceries. But I also discovered how to cook with very limited resources.”
“I can't do too much of one thing, or I get very distracted.”
