I can understand why those primitive desert people think a camera steals their soul. It is unnatural to see yourself from the outside.

There is a kind of euphoria of grief, a degree of madness.

But if you know that something has been really vicious, you don't read it, you don't let it into your head. What's damaging is when sentences go through your head and you burn with the injustice of it.

You don't go around grieving all the time, but the grief is still there and always will be.

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

Tension translates to your guests. They'll have a much better time having chili and baked potatoes than they would if you did roast duck with a wild cherry sauce and then had to lie down and cry for a while.

I am not sure about facelifts because I wouldn't want to be someone who just looks like she's had a facelift.
