1. I cook because it's fun, and I got into it when I was about 12 and taught myself by watching cooking shows and reading cook books. I even considered it as a career path (and got the chance to meet Bobby Flay!)
2. I plan ahead, but a lot of times I'll just make what I'm craving to eat.
3. Being in LA with great weather, and being a fan of southwest inspired foods, I like using the grill as much as possible. Steaks, chicken, fish, pork, burgers etc.
4. Not really. Everything in moderation, even moderation itself ;)
5. Depends on your working style. I like to generally make everything at once when I feel like doing it. But I also like making sauces, rubs, marinades, etc and I like making those ahead of time to use when I want them. The best resource for good recipes is definitely foodnetwork.com
