Nigella Lawson

You don't go around grieving all the time, but the grief is still there and always will be.

And, in a funny way, each death is different and you mourn each death differently and each death brings back the death you mourned earlier and you get into a bit of a pile-up.

There is something wrong about being photographed that has nothing to do with vanity.

I had this wild imagination. I was never me. All my childhood photos, I'm in fancy dress, playing a Russian refuge or Marvelous Mad Madam Mim.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

I went to college because I didn't have anywhere else to go and it was a fabulous hang. And while I was there I was exposed to this world that I didn't know was possible.
