The best thing you can do for someone is make them a beautiful plate of food. How else can you invade someone's body without actually touching them?

I was the first Indian model to have a career in Paris, Milan and New York. I am the first one to admit I was a novelty.

I've always thought the back is one of the most beautiful parts of a woman.

People always comment about my clothes. They don't think a fashionable woman can love food and be knowledgeable and actually cook.

If any chef ever tells you they're not inspired equally by the truck-stop barbecue as they are by the four-star Michelin restaurant they are lying.

I tend to sleep in the nude... I'm a sensual-leaning woman. You have to use the word 'leaning' or it sounds like I'm boasting.

You don't want your jewelry to make you look fat. A lot of what's out there now does - you just wind up looking like a Christmas tree.
