When I was a kid, for my birthday every year, my mother made me pasta bechamel, which is rigatoni with a white cream sauce.

I wasn't looking to get into TV. My family was in the movie business, so I was never interested in that world.

I want my daughter to see a strong woman who goes after what she wants.

If people are made to feel uncomfortable in the kitchen, they won't go in there. That's why I think children learning to cook can be such a wonderful thing.

The holidays stress people out so much. I suggest you keep it simple and try to have as much fun as you can.

I'm most comfortable in T-shirts, but they have to have some style to them.

I was so nervous to turn 40, but the last year and a half has been the most fun I have ever had.
