I'm sort of getting into the idea of nourishing your inner aspect and doing that by investing in your family and making a meal and creating time together.

If your role is to mentor somebody, what you're essentially doing is taking stock of what you've learned, the mistakes you've made, the successes you've had, and you kind of coalesce them and then you translate them back out.

I spend a good portion of my dinner-party conversation defending America because no matter what the political agenda, it's still a fantastic, amazing place.

When I had kids I sort of went into a hole for a few years and I think when I came out of that, I started to really become myself and know what works on me.

One year I was given a birthday present I'll never forget - a cooking lesson from Jamie Oliver.

I always knew I wanted to act, but my parents neverencouraged me. If I was talentless, they didn't want me to be heartbroken.

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