Once you start thinking of different dishes in terms of how they’re heated, you quickly realize that the key to successfully pulling off a big meal is to diversify. If you plan on five casseroles and a turkey, you’re gonna run out of oven space. Don’t do it!
I try not to wear anything I have to fidget with – there’s nothing worse than wearing something and pulling down the hem and re-adjusting the top. My pet hate is when girls wear those strapless dresses and spend the whole night yanking them up.

My life has totally changed. It’s like, if someone cuts me off in traffic, I used to think about stopping and pulling them out of their car to deal with them.

Early 2000s, we get Enron, which tells us the books are dirty. And what is our repeated response? We just keep pulling the threads out of the regulatory fabric.
You should never turn your back on the market that gave you notoriety and be who you are and give you the numbers it gives you in the United States. I can’t deny that the success I’ve had in the United States or the success that ‘Pulling Strings’ was due to my work in Latin America.
After I wrote my memoir, ‘A Long Way Gone,’ I was a bit exhausted.
