It's more intimate. Food can connect people in a forever sort of way.

I keep my skin - especially on my face and neck - out of the sun. My brother died of melanoma eight years ago, and I've got SPF on all the time, 24-7. It makes you realize, the sun is a wonderful thing, but it can be a very devastating thing. So sunscreen is key, and a lot of laughter, too.

I had a very tough childhood. I came here from Italy in the '70s and didn't speak a word of English, so the kids at school tormented me. Truly, it was horrifying the names they called me, and the teachers never really did a thing to stop it.

I think it can be hard for any man to sometimes be upstaged by his wife. So when I'm home, I work very hard to be Todd's wife and Jade's mother. I have no problem going back to those traditional roles. I try to be Giada, the young girl that he met 20 years ago and fell in love with.

I spent time at my grandfather Dino's gourmet store where he brought in chefs from Naples to cook. I thought of them as rock stars.

It will be a great success to me if my family comes into the restaurant and says that they're proud of what I've done, they're proud of the way I've represented the De Laurentiis name, and that they love my food. That is the moment of pure pride for me.

I'm comfortable in my own skin. I know I'm not going to ever be Cindy Crawford or Elle MacPherson.

Cooking for me is a way to wind down. It's different from cooking on camera, where you have to do everything twice, for a wide shot and a close-up.

I'm into very colorful food. Obviously lots of flavor, but I think we eat with our eyes first, so it has to look great. The presentation has to be great.

I have been blessed with a good, fun, and wonderful life, but I've also seen a whole lot of pain.

Food was always a big part of my life. My grandfather was one of 14 kids, and his parents had a pasta factory, so as a kid, he and his siblings would sell pasta door to door. After he became a movie producer, he opened up De Laurentiis Food Stores - one in Los Angeles and one in New York.

In order to keep your husband, you have to make time for him. Rather than going out to dinner, I like to spend time for just the two of us.

All men want to be treated like kings in a relationship, and I think if women don't indulge that sometimes, their men are likely to stray and look for someone who can give that to them.

The holidays stress people out so much. I suggest you keep it simple and try to have as much fun as you can.

Food brings people together on many different levels. It's nourishment of the soul and body it's truly love.

I was so nervous to turn 40, but the last year and a half has been the most fun I have ever had.

I think you can tell the food is close to my heart, too, because I'm doing what I do best.

I always say to people that working full time and being a mom is probably the hardest job, because as a mom you think about your child 24/7.

I don't eat a lot of anything. A little bit of everything, but not a lot of everything. Small meals all day long.

Talking to other people while you're cooking, it doesn't come naturally.
