I look great because I'm happy.

I find it beautiful when we're in Italy that everybody sits down at the table together. My mother-in-law is like, 'It doesn't matter what's going on in the house, who is fighting, who is upset, who has appointments, you sit down at that table at one o'clock.'

I can't live without carbs.

Nobody has money right now. And eating is very important, but it doesn’t need to be expensive. And to make – it doesn’t need to be fancy, as long as it’s fresh and simple. The simpler it is, the more fancy it actually comes out tasting.

I live in Italy part time, and they’re obsessed with what’s happening in LA too. They make fun of Americans, but the world wants to know what’s going on in Hollywood.

I’ve never wanted to be the ingenue. Now that I’m getting into my forties, I think my time as a woman has arrived; I think I might have a new moment in my career. I have that drive left – just for a little while.

I started doing makeup to make a living. Then I said, You’re not supposed to be putting powder on other people. You’re supposed to be powdering yourself.

Being a publicist is like management in a lot of ways – you’re their friend, you’re their mother, you’re their confidante.

I think my career would probably be in a better place had I been more aggressive. But I don’t have it in me. I’m not a competitive person, and I’m also really private.

I have lots of shoes, but I have to be comfortable. Lately, I’ve stolen my husband’s big, ugly Uggs to wear around the kitchen. I want to have them on, then slide into a fabulous heel later. Truth is, I often forget the heel.
