My mom tells me the first show we saw was 'The Secret Garden,' but I don't remember that.
I love gardening, and I love cooking. I love things like that. I love creating things.
I got a little house in East L.A. and did the gardening. I was doing some acting here and there, doing my own thing... getting back to reality.
I don't paint butter dishes, doilies, or hummingbirds in my garden. It's more raw, I suppose. But it always creates a reaction.
We were brought up with having a love of your garden, having somewhere you can go in, it's your little sanctuary, you can go there and you can switch off.
It's a brilliant place to be. It's rewarding. Gardens are so rewarding.
I keep myself busy, I read a lot, watch a lot of TV, and do a lot of gardening. I do stupid stuff and I love it.
When you grow up close to poultry and fields and gardens and open-air markets, you can't help but develop an instinct for quality food.
To make my meal, I go to the market and to the garden, and then I decide what I'm going to do. That's a great pleasure.
I have a very nice garden and extraordinary markets, where there are products from the earth and the sea, in the French Basque country.
