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.

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

You don't go around grieving all the time, but the grief is still there and always will be.

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.

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.

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

And cooking is about balance and harmony.

I never have plans for the future as you never know how things will turn out.

I'm not someone who's endlessly patient and wonderful.

Image
I'm not much of a drinker. I'm an eater more than a drinker. So I feel that I don't have to wait to get a hangover in order to eat these.

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.

In fact I am quite snappy and irritable, and I don't know if I'd like to make myself worse in that respect.

I was a quiet teenager, introverted, full of angst.
