Padma Lakshmi

Happy, Give, Sense

I got a chance to have my dream come true, and I wanted to make sure I made the decision as to when I dropped my last album. If I don't feel like this album is an incredible piece of work, then I'm cool with the albums I've done. I don't have to put out another album.
Puff Daddy

Work, Cool, True

Idris Elba

God, Business, Parents

Cat Deeley

Cat Deeley

Work, Food, Able

Guy Pearce

Character, Energy, Calm

I was a halfback on an American football team in Athens, Greece - the Kississia Colts - where I went to high school, and we took the Cup my senior year.

Greg Kinnear

School, Football, Two

Sandra Cisneros

Happen, Actually, Walk
