I can play a lot of things, but I haven't mastered any one. I use music really as a form of raw expression; escape from the real world.
For a healthy alternative to buffalo wings, slide the bone of a human finger into a block of tofu and bake.
Every time I think I have something under control, it changes and I don't have it under control. I think it takes several years to get there. Jade is 19 months old, so right now I'm on alert all the time. And as a mom I think you're constantly worrying about things.
I think children learning to cook can be such a wonderful thing. It can help build confidence, make them feel good about themselves. It helped me build my ego and even start to get acceptance at school. I'd bring things to class that I'd cooked at home.
I think it can be hard for any man to sometimes be upstaged by his wife. So when I'm home, I work very hard to be Todd's wife and Jade's mother. I have no problem going back to those traditional roles. I try to be Giada, the young girl that he met 20 years ago and fell in love with.
I don't eat a lot of anything. A little bit of everything, but not a lot of everything. Small meals all day long.
There's nothing like a home-cooked meal - nothing! When people ask me what the best restaurant in L. A. is, I say, 'Uh, my house. ' It's more intimate. Food can connect people in a forever sort of way.
I am surprised to see that today everything that does not amount to surrender pure and simple to generalized capitalism, let us call it thus, is considered to be archaic or old-fashioned, as though in a way there existed no other definition of what it means to be modern than, quite simply, to be at all times caught in the dominant forms of the moment.
Movies now, you can watch a trailer for a movie on TV now and you're not sure if it's a video game or a movie. You have to wait till the end of it to see, oh, I see, those actors are in it, so that one's a movie. Oftentimes, it's based on a video game.
Politics isn't in my nature.
No court can make time stand still.
