Nigella Lawson

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

I can understand why those primitive desert people think a camera steals their soul. It is unnatural to see yourself from the outside.

I never taste the wine first in restaurants, I just ask the waiter to pour.

The weird thing about grief, for me at least, was when each of my parents died, for a year or two afterwards I was pretty wildly brave - just willing to take life on.

There's never been anything I didn't love that I didn't connect with on a personal level because, to some degree, I projected upon it.

Fear is a far more dominant force in human behaviour than euphoria - I would never have expected that or given it a moment's thought before, but it shows up in the data in so many ways.
