The thing that people have said over and over again, especially people who don't cook, is, 'I watch your show, the food makes me hungry, and I think I can make that.' That's exciting because we've heard that a lot of people watch cooking shows but don't make the food.

I write quite a lot of sonnets, and I think of them almost as prayers: short and memorable, something you can recite.

You use words like 'introvert' and 'extrovert,' various traits of a personality. A lot of that stuff, we used in drama school, and that was kind of interesting, to realize my teachers sort of ripped off a lot of Jung.

My dad photographed a lot of beautiful dancers. My mom was a dancer.
A lot of people don't like bumper stickers. I don't mind bumper stickers. To me a bumper sticker is a shortcut. It's like a little sign that says 'Hey, let's never hang out.'

I think that has a lot of impact on you.
A lot of the women I know, that's what they're complaining about - either the man in their life or the lack of a man in their life.
