I am determined that my children should have no financial security. It ruins people not having to earn money.

People who have fabulous childhoods have this sense that nothing is ever going to be that good again. With me, I have the sense that nothing is going to be that bad.

I'm not much of a drinker. I'm an eater more than a drinker. So I feel that I don't have to wait to get a hangover in order to eat these.

Then again, they're not scripted and I feel it's virtually impossible to be anything but yourself when you're in front of the cameras and cooking so there is a measure of truth in what you see.

Cooking is actually quite aggressive and controlling and sometimes, yes, there is an element of force-feeding going on.

I was a quiet teenager, introverted, full of angst.

Glamour really has to do with good lighting, doesn't it?
