I am as omnivorous as it's possible to be. I always say there's nothing I won't eat and nothing I won't wear. ↗

I don't have any stigma attached to my body. When I'm in my own private space, I have very little on. ↗

I grew up a vegetarian. Then, because I grew up in the states, I started slowly eating meat. First it was bologna sandwiches, or pepperoni on pizza. ↗

I have great empathy for all the contestants that come on 'Top Chef,' whether they go home right away or they make it to the finish line. It's a very vulnerable position they put themselves in and I feel for them. ↗

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 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 really like to sometimes go into food detox and eat very simply. ↗

I think eating in itself is the act of great sensuality, so all you have to do is point the camera in the right direction. ↗

I usually doze off between 7:30 and 9 p.m. while putting my baby to sleep. Then I suddenly wake up remembering I'm an adult with no bedtime. I spend the next four hours catching up on reading, e-mails, and other adult pursuits until I collapse for good until sunrise. ↗

I work out all the time! I don't just sit around and eat burgers whenever I want. Oh, if I could I probably would, but I don't. ↗
