Emmanuelle Chriqui

Never reveal your insecurities to a man, because nine times out of 10 they have no idea they even exist.

I always describe my career as something where nothing ever popped overnight.

Reese Witherspoon is my everywoman. She's managed to have a family and this amazing career. That's the goal.

I look at my father. He is one of my heroes. He is such an incredible, classy man. He was such a great father and such a great husband in so many ways, and we lived through some pretty tough times losing my mom. When I see all that he did, I think, 'Wow, that's a really wonderful man.'

I'm actually very sensitive to energies, and when people are not aligned, I can feel that.

Is it easy to avoid paparazzi? It is, it really is.

Generally for red carpet, I love to relax first. I love to work out. I love to eat well, drink tons of water beforehand, so on the night of the red carpet I feel good and ready to go. I also love to get a good body scrub.

I can celebrate food anytime. I love cheese. When I crave a certain food, I just eat it.

I love what I do, but I never want to OD on celebrity.

I love doing voice-over. It's so fun.

As a child I was given the freedom to explore my passion for acting, but I also grew up in a home where there were a lot of rules. I didn't have 'yes' parents.

I love European films in general. If I were to go to the movie store or something, that's what I like to see.
