I love sushi.

I was an only child until I was six.

My grandfather loved the countryside.

I have nothing against a good facelift.

I come from a family of greedy food lovers.

I have a great deal of admiration for my mum.

I'd love to master another language properly.

There is nothing better than a proper breakfast.

I was an odd mixture of quite theatrical and shy.

I have no complaints about my childhood whatsoever.

For me cooking is a pleasure, it's a relaxing thing.

In my family, we were all rather plump as teenagers.

I was very lucky that I didn't end up a basket case.

I always had boyfriends, whether I was skinnier or rounder.

I do love cooking, but our kitchen is nothing fancy or hi-tech.

I like good manners, old-fashioned courting, I like being wooed.

I absolutely didn't think, 'I am really fat, I must get thinner.'

Starving isn't sexy. What's sexy is a healthy appreciation for food.

I go out to dinner occasionally and that's the sum of my dating life.

I eat very simple food, really. A lot of it tending towards nursery food.

Find me a first novel that doesn't have parallels with the author's life.

When I was a child, I named my rabbit Pancake and my guinea pig Maple Syrup.

I am not ashamed to admit that I'm wearing Yves Saint Laurent from top to toe.

I've got to confess... I do feel slightly like I've been born in the wrong time.

My cooking is incredibly haphazard, but I've never pretended it was anything else.

I've started to read more factual books, partly because I didn't go to university.

I've spent a great deal of my life one way or another talking about food or eating food.

I get asked about my weight endlessly. There is no story. It doesn't merit so much talk.

I have become that middle-aged woman who listens to the 'Hamilton' soundtrack in my kitchen.

I wasn't lonely as a child. I was the eldest of four and always had lots of people around me.

That's the whole thing about fashion: it's fantasy. To dip into that at 18 and 19 was amazing.

I'm naturally greedy and would end up the size of a house if I ate all I wanted all of the time.

I think that if you really love a book, there's nothing nicer than to have a first edition of it.

I think it would be a bit miserable going out with somebody who was totally uninterested in food.

I was lucky because my upbringing was so eccentric. It has helped me cope with unreal situations.

My mother Tessa married my stepfather, James, when I was three and we lived in Boston for a year.

When you meet someone who really sees you, it gives you the emotional freedom to pursue your dreams.

When I began modelling I was completely unprepared for the onslaught of curiosity it carried with it.

I should be allowed to be voluptuous or scrawny of my own volition, without people going on about it.

I've started running since I had kids, and I've become one of those annoying people who likes running.

I love anchovies in sauces, but on their own, they're repellent: their lurid pink bodies spook me out.

I'm a great believer in fairy tales. I think it is important to have something you can lose yourself in.

A formative cookbook for me was Nigella Lawson's 'How to Eat.' Its warm, conversational tone is wonderful.

It is hard finding clothes that fit. At the German Vogue shoot most of the clothes were undone at the back.

I've been watching a ton of Ali Wong on Netflix. I love everything she does - there's a fearlessness about her.

My modeling career was really just a long accident - one that happened to coincide with my chocolate-cake phase.

On my raw food diet, my skin shone bright like a gilded deity and my eyes glowed in a somewhat unearthly manner.

It's nice being married to someone who likes to read because you can indulge in geeky conversations about books.

I was greedy and ate in that unselfconscious way teenagers do, constantly grazing and eating when I wasn't hungry.

I don't want to deride London because I have such a huge affection for it, but New York lets you move on and grow up.
