There is a vast difference between how things seem from the outside and how they feel on the inside.
Nigella Lawson
Image
And cooking is about balance and harmony.
Nigella Lawson
Image
Cooking is actually quite aggressive and controlling and sometimes, yes, there is an element of force-feeding going on.

Gordon Ramsay makes me laugh because he knows that I'm not a chef.
Nigella Lawson
Image
Sometimes...we don't want to feel like a postmodern, postfeminist, overstretched woman but, rather, a domestic goddess, trailing nutmeggy fumes of baking pie in our languorous wake.
Nigella Lawson
Image
There is something wrong about being photographed that has nothing to do with vanity.
Nigella Lawson
Image
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.

Image
You need a balance in life between dealing with whats going on inside and not being so absorbed in yourself that it takes over.

Image
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.

Emotion is messy, contradictory... and true.
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
Image
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
Image
I think we all live in a world that is so fast-paced, it's threatening and absolutely saturated with change and novelty and insecurity. Therefore, the ritual of cooking and feeding my family and friends, whoever drops in, is what makes me feel that I'm in a universe that is contained.

Image
I never have plans for the future as you never know how things will turn out.
Nigella Lawson
Image
I am always surprised when people read double entendres into my innocuous babble.
Nigella Lawson
Image
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.

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.
