| Quote | |
|---|---|
| 1 | I tend to eat geographically. When I’m in L.A., I like to eat L.A. food. |
| 2 | I’m a really good dinner party guest. I am always so appreciative, impressed that anyone has even managed to turn on the oven and cook for me. |
| 3 | I always find it funny when I watch actors talking about, ‘I chose to do this part.’ A lot of times it’s ‘you’re lucky to get the job.’ We’re like, ‘Thank you so much.’ |
