Resisting a beautiful chocolate cake or a wonderful foie gras is as difficult as (the idea of) saying no to Paul Newman.

The real story is that I am very free, that I've managed to be who I wanted to be without compromising.

I didn't really know what I wanted to do, but I knew the woman I wanted to become.

Nature is a source of strength.

I am almost a vegetarian, and I meditate, do yoga and love to hike.

I must have books everywhere. They're the soul of a room-they reveal the taste, the interests, and the secrets of whoever lives there.

Just don't go to a place where everything is too expensive... it'll put your husband in a bad mood.
