Doubt, not self-reflection, comes from a destructive energy, and when it rears its head, I talk to it like a lunatic.

I love being. There's so much wisdom in it. You wake up in the morning and you think, Hey, isn't it great just being?

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

I'm not great about putting on make-up, I look like a wreck half the time.

If you go in in the morning and have had a rough night, dunking your face in ice water is really good.

It's the difference between someone who loves you more than anything in the world giving you criticism and getting it from some bitter stranger on the Internet. What my dad said to me was the kind of criticism where I was like, "Oh, my God, I'm on the wrong track." I'm so grateful to him for doing that. He was such a no-nonsense guy in that sense.

I'm a bit traditional in the way that I think that a woman draws her energy from the house. Food is a really nice way of expressing that energy and love, and doing something with care and putting time into it and nourishing your family.
