I have this fear of coming across as a Barbie doll who got lucky. Style is a big part of who I am, but it's not who I am. Ya know?
I have a very high metabolism, and I have to constantly eat to keep on going.
I always had dreams. I knew I wanted to have money to buy things at the flea market. That's worked out well.
As cool as I want my kids to be, they're just like any other kid. They don't love eggplant unless it is covered in cheese.
My wrists, which are tattooed with my daughters' names, are always occupied by a watch.
I like to have my hair grow, because I need to have hair for different roles. But I'm a woman, so I'm always cutting my hair off and wishing that I hadn't.
We have friends in Italy who have these old stoves, and they turn out the most beautiful food. All you really need is time, the best ingredients, and love.
For holidays, I like doing special cheery touches around the table, like color-coordinating the plates and napkins to fit the theme.
You know, you kind of lose some self-confidence after having kids because you'll never be the way you were. But I feel good.
To me, it's a religious experience to sit down at anyone's table. I feel so invited, like it's a sacred place.
My husband is from Florence. And he has a 15th-century barn that is completely rustic and very 'Green Acres'-like.
My mother was really young when she had me, so she was a horrible cook, but we lived with my grandmother, who was fantastic. We eventually got our own place, and my mother started learning to cook. But it was also the '70s, so she was very experimental, and, well - thank God we had a dog.
My husband has the philosophy that if you can work a Nintendo control, you can chop an onion. So, we have our children in the kitchen. We sit down every night for dinner. We're trying to give our kids a sense of what's going into their bodies, and it's also good for family time.
I used to live above Manganaro's, when old Times Square was still peaking, and it still had a lot of diners and theaters on the forty deuce, as they used to call it. It was full of character. And it wasn't Disneyland. Now it's so touristy and full of bright lights, I can't stand it. It's like going to a big mall.
