I love to cook, and I love to have all my family around the dinner table.

You know it's love when all you want is that person to be happy, even if you're not part of their happiness.

The older you get, the more fragile you understand life to be. I think that's good motivation for getting out of bed joyfully each day.

Loving what you do is the secret to everything.

True love doesn't come to you it has to be inside you.

Don't forget I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her.

Life is so precious. Please, please, let's love one another, live each day, reach out to each other, be kind to each other. Peace be with you. God is great.

We've all been broken at some point. Forgiving ourselves or another person helps us move forward.

The key to beauty is always to be looking at someone who loves you, really.

If you love someone, you say it, right then, out loud. Otherwise, the moment just passes you by.

Why is it so weird that somebody didn't recognize me?... The fact is that whenever I meet somebody, I say, 'Nice to meet you. I'm Julia.'

Leading people is like cookingDon’t stir too much
It annoys the ingredients
And spoils the food

Truth is we are all tragedies waiting to happen

I beg people not to accept the seasonal ritual of well-timed charity on Christmas Eve. It's blasphemy.

Ignore death up to the last moment; then, when it can't be ignored any longer, have yourself squirted full of morphia and shuffle off in a coma. Thoroughly sensible, humane and scientific, eh?

The wise expect nothing, hope for nothing, thus avoiding all disappointment and anxiety.

It is my deepest belief that only by giving our lives do we find life.

Why is taste, the crudest of our senses, exempted from the ethical rules that govern our other senses?

I am not the 'illegal' you think I am, and immigration is not what you think it is.

There was never any fear for me, no fear of failure. If I miss a shot, so what?

The sun is our father, the earth is our mother. And God is a myth destroying our family.
