I really worry about the state of the planet and I wish everyone would make a concerned effort not to trash it.

Could I use some butter and cheese and eggs in my cooking without going down some kind of hippie shame spiral? Yes. Of course I could.

To be a woman in your forties, I think it's a fantastic decade.

I think my favourite thing is understanding the responsibility of raising two human beings and putting them into the world.

I moved to New York from California when I was 11, so initially I was seen as the California person for a while. I didn't feel like I was popular, but I did feel confident.

The older I get, the more open-minded I get, the less judgmental I get.

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