More quotes by Padma Lakshmi
I like me better naked. I don't mean that in a vain way... When you put clothes on, you immediately put a character on. Clothes are adjectives, they are indicators. When you don't have any clothes on, it's just you, raw, and you can't hide.
Padma Lakshmi
Beauty is no accomplishment on its own. It's what you do with it.
Padma Lakshmi
Whether I'm making a recipe or a piece of jewelry or a white-rose-and-jasmine tea or the perfume, I like to think of myself as a happy little sorceress, and if I could just have a little general store with all that stuff and give people a sense of my taste, that would be lovely.
Padma Lakshmi
Women's voices not being heard is the root of many of the problems of the world.
Padma Lakshmi
I've always had a fantasy to write a cookbook, because everyone wants to know what a model eats.
Padma Lakshmi
I'm still amazed at how much people are willing to humiliate themselves to be on TV.
Padma Lakshmi
I never Tweet about my daughter. Never. I just want to be respectful of her privacy. My job as a mom is to know when to open my mouth and when not to.
Padma Lakshmi
I have great empathy for all the contestants that come on 'Top Chef,' whether they go home right away or they make it to the finish line. It's a very vulnerable position they put themselves in and I feel for them.
Padma Lakshmi
I grew up a vegetarian. Then, because I grew up in the states, I started slowly eating meat. First it was bologna sandwiches, or pepperoni on pizza.
Padma Lakshmi
I think eating in itself is the act of great sensuality, so all you have to do is point the camera in the right direction.
Padma Lakshmi
Where is it written that a smart woman can't also be stacked?
Padma Lakshmi
I'm not of the American ilk that, you know, your lover needs to be your best friend and know you inside out. I think he should know you well enough to please you. Otherwise, what secret will there be to tell him when you're ninety?
Padma Lakshmi
I am as omnivorous as it's possible to be. I always say there's nothing I won't eat and nothing I won't wear.
Padma Lakshmi
I'm a sucker for fried chicken - I really love it.
Padma Lakshmi
Flowers die and wine gets consumed. Both are lovely. I appreciate both. Wine and roses. I actually had someone bring me a lobe of foie gras once.
Padma Lakshmi
Wine, like food, is so emotional. If you think about it, so much of the courting ritual is surrounded by wine and food. There's a built-in romance to wine.
Padma Lakshmi
I know most people use their phones to tell time, but there's something very romantic and beautiful about a timepiece.
Padma Lakshmi
If you have children in your house you have Frosted Flakes.
Padma Lakshmi
The best thing you can do for someone is make them a beautiful plate of food. How else can you invade someone's body without actually touching them?
Padma Lakshmi
All chefs are like Jewish mothers. They want to feed you and feed you and impress you. It's an eagerness to please.
Padma Lakshmi
