When I'm traveling, I won't miss an opportunity to try great pasta.

At the weekend, one of the paparazzi left their lunch box filled with half-eaten pasta salad on my doorstep: it was like a little warning, you know? 'We have been here.'

Pasta is the one food I can't live without. It's the food I eat to fuel my running.

Pasta isn't just for Italian food anymore. Now there are tasty pasta recipes found in Asian cuisine, and it's emerging as a newfound love for vegans.

The unlikely combination of potatoes and pasta does appear in some Italian recipes.

If you stop for lunch elsewhere in the world, you tend to eat a sandwich, and a bad one. Italy is unique for the style of life. I think everyone envies it a bit.

I like pasta; it's pretty good. I'll even substitute wheat pasta in there and make it more healthy.

My favorite kitchen was the Japanese and the Italian kitchen.

My mother and sisters cooked Italian food, and I never heard of half of the dishes you see in these Italian restaurants. I just go in and order spaghetti.

As long as there's pasta and Chinese food in the world, I'm okay.
