[on combining her interest in both public cuisine and her acting career] I love having a place where people can meet and fall in love, or have a drink with their best friend, a place where artists come and perform their art - whatever that may be. I love knowing that a million stories I would love to watch happen every day in my place. And the film industry is and has always been the place that I belong. Acting, producing, writing, directing - it's all part of something that I believe I was born to be part of.
