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

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.

I definitely don't read any tabloids. You really have to find a way to separate the words of people you respect - stranger or not, but respectful content, positive or negative - and people who are just in pain and projecting their own sh*t onto you.

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

I don't know if I came to this life with it or if it's something that came to me in my childhood, but I do feel that some of the things my parents said to me and how they raised me really stuck with me.

My father was really good at having me stand on my own two feet, both financially and philosophically. His whole parenting philosophy was to give my brother and me the skills to be grown-ups and the curiosity to ask the right questions.

We're human beings and the sun is the sun - how can it be bad for you? I don't think anything that's natural can be bad for you.
