Gordon Ramsay makes me laugh because he knows that I'm not a chef.

Glamour really has to do with good lighting, doesn't it?

Anyway, what makes people look youthful is the quality of their skin and I don't think you can change that.
Nigella Lawson
Image
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.

There is something wrong about being photographed that has nothing to do with vanity.
Nigella Lawson
Image
I do think awful things may happen at any moment, so while they are not happening, you may as well be pleased.
Nigella Lawson
Image
I was a quiet teenager, introverted, full of angst.

Image
I am not sure about facelifts because I wouldn't want to be someone who just looks like she's had a facelift.

I wasn't good with authority, went to lots of schools, didn't like the fact that there was no autonomy.

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.
