Padma Lakshmi’s 5 most popular quotes
- It doesn’t matter how precisely the onion is cut as long as the person chewing it is happy.
- I like me better naked. I don’t mean that in a vain way… When you put clothes on, you immediately put a character on. Clothes are adjectives, they are indicators. When you don’t have any clothes on, it’s just you, raw, and you can’t hide.
- I’m the kind of girl who thinks about what she’s gonna cook for dinner when she’s finishing her lunch.
- The best thing you can do for someone is make them a beautiful plate of food. How else can you invade someone’s body without actually touching them?
