Jessica Biel writes poetry to relax

KARACHI: Actress Jessica Biel revealed she writes poetry to relax.

The “Total Recall” actress, who is engaged to Justin Timberlake, said penning her own poetry helps her stay in touch with her spiritual side.

“I like being able to write when I find the time to get into it, I love reading poetry and I’ve written poetry myself since I was in school,” she said.

“It’s very calming and spiritual to be able to get in touch with emotions and states of mind to write poetry,” she said.

Besides writing, the 30-year-old beauty scaled Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania in January 2010
to raise awareness for environmental issues.

She loves spending time outdoors, which she believes stems from her upbringing.

“I was raised by hippie kind of parents and the wild and open spaces were something I was
taught to value. I had a really great childhood and I still love being outdoors and having a
healthy respect for nature,” she said.
