My life comes down to three moments: the death of my father, meeting my husband, and the birth of my daughter. Everything I did previous to that just doesn't seem to add up to very much.

What I've learned is I want to enjoy my life, and food is a big part of it.

If you have a very hot experience then shock yourself with cold water, it's very very good for the nervous system.

As I absorbed life here and understood it better, I just completely fell in love with England.

~I think what surprised me the most about motherhood, as sentimental as it sounds, is how much I love my kids. I mean, I just can't believe it. It's like a whole new dimension in emotion that I've never experienced.~

Even actresses that you really admire, like Reese Witherspoon, you think, 'Another romantic comedy?' You see her in something like 'Walk the Line' and think, 'God, you're so great!' And then you think, 'Why is she doing these stupid romantic comedies?' But of course, it's for money and status.

I love men, even though they're lying, cheating scumbags.
