More quotes by Nigella Lawson
I'm not someone who's endlessly patient and wonderful.
Nigella Lawson
It's true that I wouldn't have written the first book had my sister and mother been alive. It was my way of continuing our conversation. It's also this Jewish thing of naming and remembering people, and I think there is a sense of keeping that side of life going.
Nigella Lawson
There is something wrong about being photographed that has nothing to do with vanity.
Nigella Lawson
In fact I am quite snappy and irritable, and I don't know if I'd like to make myself worse in that respect.
Nigella Lawson
I am always surprised when people read double entendres into my innocuous babble.
Nigella Lawson
I wasn't good with authority, went to lots of schools, didn't like the fact that there was no autonomy.
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
I was a quiet teenager, introverted, full of angst.
Nigella Lawson
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
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
Gordon Ramsay makes me laugh because he knows that I'm not a chef.
Nigella Lawson
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.
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
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
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
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
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
I never taste the wine first in restaurants, I just ask the waiter to pour.
Nigella Lawson
Glamour really has to do with good lighting, doesn't it?
Nigella Lawson
