I’m not very much of a foodie; I like small amounts of delicious things, but I’ve never overeaten – I’d much rather have a glass of wine. Felicity Kendal Read Quote
I’ve always told Will, ‘You can do whatever you want as long as you can look at yourself in the mirror and be okay.’ Because at the end of the day, Will is his own man. I’m here as his partner, but he is his own man. He has to decide who he wants to be, and that’s not for me to do for him. Or vice versa. Jada Pinkett Smith Read Quote

It will save our lives on so many levels; not just spina bifida, but obesity, diabetes, everything. Food is our medicine. Nicole Ari Parker Read Quote
I was, like, a total cliched ’80s child. I had Barbies, obviously, as well as My Little Ponies and Cabbage Patch Kids, but I used to destroy them. I used to draw all over their faces and cut off their hair. Natalie Portman Read Quote
A lot of people can’t stand touring but to me it’s like breathing. I do it because I’m driven to do it. Bob Dylan Read Quote
