On Tuesday night, the 100 most influential people in the world — at least according to Time magazine — gathered for the annual Time 100 Gala, which gave TODAY's Matt Lauer a chance to gather up some fascinating answers to unusual questions when he met up with several of the honorees backstage.
Check out what they had to say!

Laverne Cox: "You are actually anointed; you're beautiful and your dreams will come true. You just have to continue to believe and work hard."
Describe falling in love for the first time.
Cooper: "It's something about not being able to breathe, but that being OK."
Matthew Weiner: "It's the only time when I remember not being hungry."
Cox: "I didn't think I deserved love, and I was not able to receive it when it happened and it was the scariest thing in the world."
Jeffrey Tambor: "I felt sick to my stomach and I went, 'Oh, is this what this is?' [I thought] maybe I had the flu."
Emma Watson: "It's like standing on the top of a very, very tall building and you feel a little nauseous and a little dizzy but basically really exhilarated."
Time is running out for me to ...

Faith Hill: "Mashed potatoes and whatever it was that they put on top of it."
Kardashian: "I always loved my best friend Allison's lunch because she always got lots of Cheetos and Oreos and I was stuck with really healthy food."
Watson: "I was a very fussy eater as a child. I was like very, very picky. I'd have the same thing every day: plain pasta."
Schumer: "Oooh! Peanut butter and banana sandwich with a little honey."
"No one said foie gras!" joked Savannah Guthrie on TODAY after the segment ended. Surprise!
