More quotes by 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
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 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 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
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
I was a quiet teenager, introverted, full of angst.
Nigella Lawson
You don't go around grieving all the time, but the grief is still there and always will be.
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
I don't like conflict.
Nigella Lawson
You cannot truly say you live well unless you eat well.
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
Tension translates to your guests. They'll have a much better time having chili and baked potatoes than they would if you did roast duck with a wild cherry sauce and then had to lie down and cry for a while.
Nigella Lawson
I am always surprised when people read double entendres into my innocuous babble.
Nigella Lawson
Glamour really has to do with good lighting, doesn't it?
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
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
And cooking is about balance and harmony.
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
Gordon Ramsay makes me laugh because he knows that I'm not a chef.
Nigella Lawson
There is something wrong about being photographed that has nothing to do with vanity.
Nigella Lawson
