“People are unhappy when they are on diets, because it's 'don't do this...” — Mireille Guiliano Quote

People are unhappy when they are on diets, because it's 'don't do this, don't do that, do this, do that.'

I cannot live without flowers everywhere. I grew up having a big garden, the size of a city block, in Rombas.

If you believe you can shed pounds quickly by force of will and deprivation, you will in all likelihood not only regain the ones you lost, but add a few more besides.

I love my kitchen. For Manhattan, I have a rather decent-size kitchen, and it has an opening that gives out to the dining room, which has a window with a view of the city and in the distance the Statue of Liberty.

We tend to treat eating and diets as one size fits all. But the human body is very personalized.

Steer clear of fad diets.

I've always been against taxing diets.

I absolutely don't write for women - far, far from it. It's so not what I want to do. Some of the writers, who have helped out at the beginning and end of the process - they're all men - have suggested quite feminine subjects they want me to explore. And I'm always, simply, 'No.' I don't want to do diets, don't want to. I just can't do it.

I eat everything and don't believe in diets.
