More quotes by Nigella Lawson
While I am sure there are a number of women who secretly wonder whether they are lesbian, most simply have, somewhere, a fantasy about having sex, in a non-defining, non-exclusive way, with other women.
Nigella Lawson
I was brought up an atheist and have always remained so. But at no time was I led to believe that morality was unimportant or that good and bad did not exist. I believe passionately in the need to distinguish between right and wrong and am somewhat confounded by being told I need God, Jesus or a clergyman to help me to do so.
Nigella Lawson
Cooking is actually quite aggressive and controlling and sometimes, yes, there is an element of force-feeding going on.
Nigella Lawson
I never taste the wine first in restaurants, I just ask the waiter to pour.
Nigella Lawson
You need a balance in life between dealing with whats going on inside and not being so absorbed in yourself that it takes over.
Nigella Lawson
I know the crew so well, so I forget I'm being filmed. It's like cooking with a friend in the kitchen - you're talking, as you do, and maybe you're telling her about this wonderful way to prepare lamb chops - it's more natural, more honest.
Nigella Lawson
I do think awful things may happen at any moment, so while they are not happening, you may as well be pleased.
Nigella Lawson
Glamour really has to do with good lighting, doesn't it?
Nigella Lawson
I never have plans for the future as you never know how things will turn out.
Nigella Lawson
But if you know that something has been really vicious, you don't read it, you don't let it into your head. What's damaging is when sentences go through your head and you burn with the injustice of it.
Nigella Lawson
In England and America people tend to graze all day long, but I think it's such a waste to be constantly picking at food because you then can't enjoy a proper full meal when the time comes.
Nigella Lawson
I am not a chef. I am not even a trained or professional cook. My qualification is as an eater.
Nigella Lawson
I am not sure about facelifts because I wouldn't want to be someone who just looks like she's had a facelift.
Nigella Lawson
I used to refer to myself as Typhoid Mary. It wasn't that I was jinxed, I just seemed to bring ill fortune to anybody I was close to.
Nigella Lawson
(In cooking), there is always room for careful tinkering.
Nigella Lawson
Everyone wants to be young, beautiful and rich. I don't say that scornfully: there are worse things to want to be. But that's why, for example, people don't begrudge Kate Moss how much she earns for a day's work but will fulminate over the take-home pay of some fat, old Water Board exec.
Nigella Lawson
I lurch from chaos to chaos. I can't find my driving licence and my clothes are everywhere - cooking is the neatest thing I do.
Nigella Lawson
At some stages of your life you will deal with things and at others you are overwhelmed with misery and anxiety.
Nigella Lawson
But I do think that women who spend all their lives on a diet probably have a miserable sex life: if your body is the enemy, how can you relax and take pleasure? Everything is about control, rather than relaxing, about holding everything in.
Nigella Lawson
And cooking is about balance and harmony.
