My daughter emails me. When your daughter starts to email you instead of talk to you... It's horrible. You cannot forget human communication.

I can keep learning about all the different technologies. It's my most telling characteristic. I'm interested in trying anything new.

I - I try to do as much as I can, wherever I am. So, at the farm, I'm always thinking of some new project, some new thing I can do.

Everywhere I go, I always look for creative entrepreneurs, whether it's artisans and craftsmen, small farmers and gardeners, or restaurateurs who use fresh, locally sourced ingredients. I admire the courage and self-reliance it takes to start your own business and make it succeed.

It's all about new techniques -- simplifying old techniques, and consolidating steps. Making things go faster, but not worse.

I love Champagne and I love to drink it out of any kind of beautiful glass.

When I got married and had a child and went to work, my day was all day, all night. You lose your sense of balance. That was in the late '60s, '70s, women went to work, they went crazy. They thought the workplace was much more exciting than the home. They thought the family could wait. And you know what? The family can't wait. And women have now found that out. It all has to do with women, or the homemaker leaving the home and realizing that where they've gone is not as fabulous, or as rewarding, or as self-fulfilling as the balance between the workplace and the home place.
