She explained that the kitchen offers a rare moment of quiet amid her packed schedule. \u201cIt\u2019s actually the thing that gives me a few [moments] to just be quiet and cook,\u201d she said, describing food as its own form of art. <\/p>\n<p>That sense of patience and process, she noted, has reshaped how she thinks creatively. Some things, as she put it, \u201cyou\u2019ve got to let sit for three hours before you can cook it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Of course, culinary school hasn\u2019t been all knives and saut\u00e9 pans. Taylor admitted she was surprised by the academic side, including business classes. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I signed up and realized I had business classes and all other types of shit, I was like, \u2018Oh, s**t, baby,\u2019\u201d she joked. Even then, she pushed through\u2014doing coursework on her iPad while traveling to film premieres.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond food, the conversation also touched on Taylor\u2019s approach to acting, particularly her method of layering emotion into her characters. She described visualizing feelings as colors, allowing her to shift emotional states quickly within a scene. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a technique that blends her background in dance and choreography with instinctive performance. \u201cI\u2019m an over-communicator,\u201d she said. \u201cIf we talk about what a scene feels like, I just do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Isaac praised that fluidity, noting how her physical awareness lends gravity to her performances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Teyana Taylor is already known for wearing a lot of hats\u2014singer, dancer, choreographer, actor, director\u2014but she casually added&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":193888,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[321,93,61,60],"class_list":["post-193887","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193887","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=193887"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193887\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/193888"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=193887"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=193887"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=193887"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
