Padma Lakshmi
I think a great classic watch is the first staple every woman should invest in.
Padma Lakshmi
I usually doze off between 7:30 and 9 p.m. while putting my baby to sleep. Then I suddenly wake up remembering I'm an adult with no bedtime. I spend the next four hours catching up on reading, e-mails, and other adult pursuits until I collapse for good until sunrise.
Padma Lakshmi
I'm not attached to things at all. I'm very lucky to have quite a few beautiful things, but if I look back at my life, I was often happiest when I had very little.
Padma Lakshmi
In a way that somebody else converts to Judaism or becomes a Hare Krishna, I belong to the church of fried chicken.

Padma Lakshmi
I'm an immigrant kid who came to America from India when I was very young and grew up in New York City with a single mom and really was influenced by all of those immigrant cultures bumping up against each other.
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
Beauty is no accomplishment on its own. It's what you do with 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
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
India's had two groovy moments. Once when the Beatles went to India and now when Madonna has embraced yoga.
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
In southern Spain, they made me eat a bull's testicles. They were really garlicky, which I don't like. I prefer to take a bull by the horns, not by, um...
Padma Lakshmi
I'm still amazed at how much people are willing to humiliate themselves to be on TV.
