There's nothing new. I think that's the weird thing for me. Over the last couple of months, the keep-fit shows, and then at the end of it you get to lose weight and one of you is going to win a million dollars - that's not real. In many ways, even 10 years ago that wouldn't have worked.

There is a level of snobbery and fickleness in L.A.

Cooking a dish is fine; cooking it under pressure is a completely different ballgame.

I am what I am. A fighter.

Eating out doesn't have to be a formula. Eating out is about having fun. I get really frustrated when it's badly done.
