I love the English way, which is not as capitalistic as it is in America. People don't talk about work and money. They talk about interesting things at dinner parties.

At dinner parties I sit below the salt now. There are a lot of interesting people there.

I don't have dinner parties - I eat my dinner in bed.

I've had a very interesting career. I get to do amazing things and work with amazing people and travel and learn languages - things most people don't get the opportunity to do.

It is very vulgar to talk about one's business. Only people like stockbrokers do that, and then merely at dinner parties.

For dinner parties, I love making an easy cioppino using shrimp, mussels, clams, and a hearty fish that won't fall apart easily.
