Being with my family and kids, on an island, eating and drinking.
In my bed, a hot-water bottle on my tummy, the windows are open, reading a book that I’m already into, chocolate at hand, all with the knowledge that everyone I love and know is happy.
Seeing my family thrive and being underwater.
Warm chocolate cake, a gorgeous fire, and Idris Elba. Also, world peace.
Unselfishness. I like to surround myself with people who are kind and have feelings for others and their problems.
In Macon, Georgia, during my childhood. I knew everybody there—it was like the whole town was your family. I felt complete there.
Selfishness—people who don’t care about others or their feelings and will do or say anything as long as they get what they want.
To be taller. I’ve been looking up at certain people all my life. If I was taller, I could look down and see them a lot better.
I don’t want to be lost and burn in hell.
Diane Keaton, Ina Garten, Alice Waters, Andrea Martin, Mariska Hargitay, Don Rickles
