On
not being able to have it all - and her trying to cut the amount of work
she does:
“ I look for an
interesting supporting part about once a year. That’s the most I can manage.
Some women can do it and that’s fantastic, but I can’t. You make choices as a
wife and mother, don’t you? You can’t have it all. I don’t care what it looks
like.”
On
the success of her relationship:
DVF: Would you say the
success of a relationship comes from the fact that you’re not needy?”
gp “I would say it’s
because I focus more on understanding than on being understood.”
On having more children
“My brain says, ‘Oh, I
think I’m done, the kids are big now and I don’t want to go back to changing
diapers’. But a part of me would love to
have another. Of course, I’m old now!”
On
the effect her father had on her
“My dad and I had one of
those incredibly lucky, love-of-your-life relationships. The main reason I believe
in myself comes from my father. I felt so understood by him.”
dvf “I think if your father makes you confident,
you wind up having healthy relationships with men.”
gp “I agree. I mean, I stumbled a few times in that
department. But I feel like I wasn’t struggling to figure out men.”
On her diet / exercise regime
“I was very strict
for a while. I was macrobiotic for a couple of years, then I got pregnant and
just ate ice cream. What I’ve learnt is I want to enjoy my life and food is a
big part of it. I love to cook and feed people. I cook every day.
I don’t like sweets. My
indulging is a fresh baguette with cheese and a glass of red wine, or French
fries and fried zucchini. Or a turkey burger.”
