My father, he was like the rock, the guy you went to with every problem.

I try to remember, as I hear about friends getting engaged, that it's not about the ring. It's a grave thing, getting married.

I find the English amazing how they got over 7/7. There were no multiple memorials with people sobbing as they would have been in America. There, they are constantly scaring people, but at the same time, people think nothing of going to see a therapist.

I don't want to be rich and I don't want to be famous.

I had my first bowl of gazpacho when I was fifteen in Spain, and the impression it made was a lasting one.

If you go in in the morning and have had a rough night, dunking your face in ice water is really good.

I've learned so much from being a mom about the kind of person I want to be, the kind of woman I want to be. Motherhood has taught me mindfulness. If you just parent on instinct, you'll screw your kid up for life. You have to be so mindful.
