Are you going to be using the gym membership Gwyneth Paltrow gave you?
Somebody made that up. If she gave me one, she certainly wouldn’t leak it to the press. It’s a slow news week. They find guys like me.
If someone did give you a gym membership, would you use it?
I go to the gym. I already go to the gym. I have yoga at my house. I do Printing House for squash, and I do X-Fit for boxing. Seven days a week.
What’s your best yoga position?
I don’t know. Downward dog?
Can you do a headstand?
I can do a headstand. I can also do the one where you get up on your hands alone. I’ve been practicing!
How are men and women different in the kitchen?
It’s in women’s nature to be better because they don’t cook to compete, they cook to feed people. Back in Italy, the best chefs are never dudes — it’s always the grandma. There are two ways to make someone happy — both are by putting something in them … right now we’re talking about food! [Grub Street]
