I find beauty in the grotesque, like most artists.

I am not quite Martha Stewart, but I do like cooking and gardening.

Beauty and femininity are ageless and can't be contrived, and glamour, although the manufacturers won't like this, cannot be manufactured. Not real glamour; it's based on femininity.

I still love farming and gardening and things like that in the summertime.

I like solitary pursuits, such as reading or pottering about in the garden.

Gardening has just sort of grown on me. I find it therapeutic. And I like smelly things.

I like the physical activity of gardening. It's kind of thrilling. I do a lot of weeding.

I like cast iron coated with enamel for longevity and forgiveness if I happen to take my eyes off the prize while pouring Chianti.

Forgiveness is like faith. You have to keep reviving it.

Nothing inspires forgiveness quite like revenge.

Employers, like most people, tend to trust their intuitions. But when employers decide whom to hire, they trust those intuitions far more than they should.

I'm so suspicious of boys-slash-men. I just don't like them or trust them.

Marriage, like money, is still with us; and, like money, progressively devalued.

I wanted to marry a girl just like my mom.

Marriage, in life, is like a duel in the midst of a battle.

Marriage feels like an industry with catering and really expensive bands.

I like marriage. The idea.

Like a lovely orchid, or anything else that's nurtured, marriage prospers and grows, but if it's ignored, it withers.
