After I had the kids, I took a break from work, and all my creativity went into my kitchen. I like experimenting.

The simpler things are, the happier they are.

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

I am convinced that by eating biological foods it is possible to avoid a tumor.

~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.~

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.

I made a pact with myself that I'd rather have less money than be embarrassed.
