I like me better naked. I don't mean that in a vain way... When you put clothes on, you immediately put a character on. Clothes are adjectives, they are indicators. When you don't have any clothes on, it's just you, raw, and you can't hide.

I always think, after the second glass of wine, you should be putting something in your stomach.

Whenever I'm in sync with the trends, it's always an accident. I still love wearing clothes I've had for ten years. I think understated luxury is the chicest thing.

I was lucky to have a successful career as a model, but that was just a way to pay off my college loans.

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.

All chefs are like Jewish mothers. They want to feed you and feed you and impress you. It's an eagerness to please.

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.
