 Anyway, what makes people look youthful is the quality of their skin and I don't think you can change that. |
| I need to be frightened of things. I hate it, but I must need it, because it's what I do. |
| You don't go around grieving all the time, but the grief is still there and always will be. |
| I don't believe in low-fat cooking. |
| I know the crew so well, so I forget I'm being filmed. It's like cooking with a friend in the kitchen - you're talking, as you do, and maybe you're telling her about this wonderful way to prepare lamb chops - it's more natural, more honest. |
| I think maybe when you live with someone who is really very ill for a long time, it somehow gives you more of a greedy appetite for life and maybe, yes, you are less measured in your behaviour than you would otherwise be. |
| Also, in a funny way, if you have been happily married there are no unresolved areas, nothing to prove to yourself after the other dies. |
| The modern world is personal; people want to know intimate things. |
| I'm not someone who's endlessly patient and wonderful. |
| I wasn't good with authority, went to lots of schools, didn't like the fact that there was no autonomy. |
| Then again, they're not scripted and I feel it's virtually impossible to be anything but yourself when you're in front of the cameras and cooking so there is a measure of truth in what you see. |
| Emotion is messy, contradictory... and true. |
| It sounds like something on a very trite T-shirt, but life is what happens. |
| I never taste the wine first in restaurants, I just ask the waiter to pour. |
| At some stages of your life you will deal with things and at others you are overwhelmed with misery and anxiety. |
| There is something wrong about being photographed that has nothing to do with vanity. |
| You need a balance in life between dealing with what's going on inside and not being so absorbed in yourself that it takes over. |
| In England and America people tend to graze all day long, but I think it's such a waste to be constantly picking at food because you then can't enjoy a proper full meal when the time comes. |
| I am not sure about facelifts because I wouldn't want to be someone who just looks like she's had a facelift. |
| And, in a funny way, each death is different and you mourn each death differently and each death brings back the death you mourned earlier and you get into a bit of a pile-up. |
