I know most people use their phones to tell time, but there's something very romantic and beautiful about a timepiece.

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?

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.

In a way that somebody else converts to Judaism or becomes a Hare Krishna, I belong to the church of fried chicken.
Padma Lakshmi
Image
Jewelry should not upstage you. I pick one hot point on my body that I'm going to highlight. Let one area do the singing - you don't want to hear three songs at once.
Padma Lakshmi
Image
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
Image
I was lucky to have a successful career as a model, but that was just a way to pay off my college loans.
Padma Lakshmi
Image
I'm still amazed at how much people are willing to humiliate themselves to be on TV.
Padma Lakshmi
Image
My mom was scared of the old Times Square so I was never allowed to go. Now I'm scared of the new Times Square, so I still never go.
Padma Lakshmi
Image
I am a sufferer of endometriosis. I didn't want any young women to go through what I went through. I thought that people should know about it.
Padma Lakshmi
Image
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
Image
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.
