I've always been curious. I keep a list of people I'd love to have lunch with, like the Pope or Leonard Cohen. I'll read an article about someone I've never met and think, 'I should ask him to lunch!'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Lunch is usually a salad or a sandwich. If I'm on set, I'll have catering, but I'm well behaved with that stuff. It's easy to go crazy - they know how to feed you.
I would love to have a long and serious conversation with the Pope. And Woody Allen, whom I have never interviewed. Then, after those two? Steve Jobs.
I rarely have time for lunch, so tend to have a big breakfast and big dinner.
There will always be ladies who lunch. Always. And apparently they live a long time.
I like company lunches because I think going out wastes valuable time; plus, a lot of good ideas come up over lunch.
I like to take a long time over breakfast, and I can't bear to talk. If a guest is a breakfast talker it's very important to invite another so they can talk to each other. Otherwise they spoil the newspaper reading and everything else.
If we have meetings, I try to schedule the meetings at different restaurants I want to try - so I always suggest the restaurants.
I keep a list of everyone I've ever met.
Nobody took you out for lunch when I started. Carla Bruni took me out for lunch once. She was really nice. Otherwise, you don't get fed.
I don't go on lunch dates with friends. I hear about people having dinner parties, but I never do that. I'm not really human.
