What’s the best perk of being a celebrity?
no one gives my kids nasty looks on the plane. if anything, they're creepily nice and it is crazy unfair because they are just as annoying as other kids on a plane https://t.co/J1T1lpmNI2

Do you have a million rooms in your house? And how many expensive dresses have you worn?
every room is very used and occupied. I have worn a lot of expensive things but always have to give them back. since the babies, I'm not sample size anymore so I buy almost everything I wear and then resell on TheRealReal and donate the $ to charity. https://t.co/nXHqs7zr76

How do you go about cutting the line at restaurants? Do you pay or does it happen automatically?
I make reservations and don't give them the option to say no. "Hi it's Chrissy Teigen and id like to make a reservation for 2 for John legend, do you have any availability?" if you just say "hi can I make a reservation for 2?" they say no. gotta say it all at once https://t.co/31GsnRw3KJ

luna hates them. in New York they don't really hide and they apologize when she freaks and stop photographing. here in LA, they've learned to hide more and you don't know you're being photographed. I'd rather know. https://t.co/i9aIKx7kdS

It’s why I hate interviews. There are so many tones to everything, and you just pray it translates well. I’m also very long winded and talk a lot. It is the longest waiting game and I hate it. https://t.co/AwcCv8Lh8H
