The food I love so much that if I dropped it on the floor, I'd eat it anyway is a nacho. I fry the chips myself. Just take a tortilla, cut it into triangles, and throw 'em in coconut oil.
My ultimate stress reliever is exercise! And actually meditation. I do that for 20 minutes every day.
The one song that gets me moving without fail is "White Lines," that old rap song. I made a playlist of all those awesome songs from Jimmy Fallon's "History of Rap."
My postworkout beauty ritual is wiping my skin. I always use Aveeno [she's a spokeswoman] Ultra Calming Wipes--they're easy if you aren't near a sink.
If I could trade bodies with one person for 24 hours, I'd pick Would I really want to give it back? I'd love to be able to ski like a crazy person, like Lindsey Vonn. Then I'd also like to have Gisele's body, just 'cuz, why not?
I know I can beat anyone in Concentration. That's a good game. And Rock Mahjong! When I had a Megatouch--it's a wonderful machine with over 100 games--I played that too much. And also Castle Bandits! OK, next question.
No one knows that I can make a great Bloody Mary. It's actually just Mr. & Mrs. T Bloody Mary Mix! It's very trailer trash. But it's the amount of lime, a splash of olive juice and a couple of other secrets I can't give away.

It's Sunday morning at 11 a.m. You'll find me having eggs and a bagel and reading the paper. I start with the front page, then the travel section, arts and leisure or the calendar. How I take my eggs depends on my mood. But I always throw a yolk in there--the yolk's got a bad rap.
If you want to make me smile There are so many ways. Show me puppy videos. Cute puppy videos.
If yoga didn't exist, I'd invent it.
When I need extra motivation, I tell myself just do it. You can do anything for an hour.
Before I go to bed, I always wash my face and brush my teeth. I use a mild-scented Aveeno cleanser--I'm not a big scents person--and brush my teeth.
If I had to give up Mexican food for a year or post a selfie on Instagram for a year I'd definitely give up Mexican food for a year. I don't have Instagram. And I'm not a fan of selfies. I don't understand them. I feel like there's enough out there, why add to it?

I'm dying to try India. I wanna explore it.
My world. My rules. I would command everyone to do so many things! Be kind. Oh, I would command everyone to stop buying tabloids! I would command everyone to stop violence.
My friends know that they'll drive me crazy if they sing along to music! Oh my God, I hate it. I like to hear the song--don't sing it. Please! I'd record you to sing it if I wanted to hear you sing it.
My guilty pleasure is I have to say, The Voice and America's Got Talent. The auditions really kind of are fabulous.
If I programmed my own TV network, it would air good news! Just positive stories. Heroic stories. Cute puppy dogs doin' stuff. Great television shows. I'd bring back all the great television shows from the 70's. Put Taxi back on the air. Things to make you smile.
