I THINK COMPETING is one of my FAVORITE THINGS EVER.

Blowing PEOPLE's MINDS is one of my FAVORITE THINGS to do.

I have a very big FAMILY and a LOT of FRIENDS, and buying presents is one of my FAVORITE things to do.

I LOVE doing voice-over. It's one of my FAVORITE THINGS.

I LOVE to DANCE; it's one of my FAVORITE THINGS to do.

One of my FAVORITE THINGS about 'Star Trek' wasn't just the overt banter but the humor in that show about the relationships between the main characters and their reactions to the situations they would face; there was a lot of comedy in that show without ever BREAKING its REALITY.

One of my FAVORITE things to do with my dog and my SISTER's dog and my mom and my sister is to go for these really LONG WALKS.

One of my favorite things about my life is that I have the same GROUP of FRIENDS that I grew up with. I LOVE them so dearly, and we give each other a hard TIME.

One of my favorite things about MAKING horror movies is, the first time you SCREEN them in FRONT of an AUDIENCE, it's very fun to hear PEOPLE audibly react to the work you put into a movie. You don't wonder at the end of the movie whether it worked or not.

One of my favorite things about the DC UNIVERSE, growing up as a reader, was just how BIG it was and just how MANY CHARACTERS and superheroes there were. And how many odd characters there were.

Flipboard is really fun because it's LIKE a digital magazine that LETS you curate your favorite things and follow your favorite people. I do Instagram but not Vine. I LOVE Vine, but I don't have TIME to browse through it. So when I'm on YOUTUBE, I'll look up the 'best of Vine' compilations.

One of my favorite things, as a CRITIC, was finding books by NEW writers who possessed a distinctive VOICE and VISION, an inventive gift for storytelling. I also loved immersing myself in works of nonfiction that taught me something about the world, that made the past COME alive or shed light on hidden corners of history or the news.
