During the strict macrobiotic chapter of my life, I ate miso soup every day for breakfast and sometimes with dinner as well.

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.

If you carve out what you expect, that's how you end up getting disappointed, not living fully in the present.

My golden time is after I drop the kids off at school. I'm usually working on my website (lifestyle site Goop) and checking emails but I try to do something at least once a week - like a facial or a visit to the osteopath - something to bring myself back into my body.

When I was pregnant, I couldn't wear fragrance. I couldn't smell anything. I couldn't smell flowers, I was very sensitive to everything. I could smell orange juice from across the room and I remember thinking, 'I will throw up.'

Our marriage is between us. If we decide to continue being together or not, it's our business.

I cannot function if there is a physical mess around me. If everything is falling apart, I go on a cleaning frenzy.
