I'm such an avid magazine reader - music, art, beauty magazines - and I found that food and restaurants were pouring into everything I cared about. Whether it was the pop-up concept, or some mysterious mini-mall restaurant, I got swept up in the sexy romance of the food movement.

I love to visit the comic shops, and I don't want to call myself a 'foodie,' because that word is just stupid, but I love diner food, and I'm a hardcore fan of 'Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.'

I love making lists.

I love food. I mean, I really love food. I take pictures of my finest, funniest and most fascinating dishes, post them on Twitter, and send them to friends. I treat menus like classic literature, refusing to skip even one word. I read the description of every item, regardless of whether or not I'm interested in eating it.

When I'm on a location, I pick a restaurant that's close and private and eat all my meals there.

I love to personalize things. I love to make things my own. I like to name everything - from cars to iPhones to the socks I just lost.

I can go into a restaurant; I might have to go a few times, taste something, love it and figure out exactly what is in there, and go home and duplicate it.

I like simple things. Elastic waists, so I can eat.

I don't go around calling myself a fat girl. It doesn't feel fun to me.

I wanted to build up a name for myself.
