If I could go into the woods and kill a bear myself, I'd wear it proudly as a trophy.

I know the crew so well, so I forget I'm being filmed. It's like cooking with a friend in the kitchen - you're talking, as you do, and maybe you're telling her about this wonderful way to prepare lamb chops - it's more natural, more honest.

In England and America people tend to graze all day long, but I think it's such a waste to be constantly picking at food because you then can't enjoy a proper full meal when the time comes.

I don't believe in low-fat cooking.

Anyway, what makes people look youthful is the quality of their skin and I don't think you can change that.

You need a balance in life between dealing with whats going on inside and not being so absorbed in yourself that it takes over.

Sometimes...we don't want to feel like a postmodern, postfeminist, overstretched woman but, rather, a domestic goddess, trailing nutmeggy fumes of baking pie in our languorous wake.
