Elizabeth Berkley was flirting with a man when I walked out of Whole Foods with a bag of produce slung across my waist. I hate the word ‘canoodling’ but that’s the thing – less passion, more noodles, with a ‘can’ added in front for encouragement.

Whether they realize they’re doing it or not, people will throw your life into your character – the character you played as a kid.
