It was a very emotional dinner... Everyone shared personal stories about her and gave her words of encouragement and inspiration. Everyone tried to remain positive.

But I don't think that sculpture belongs in everyday life like a table does, or like a chair.

The dinner table is a lively debate, and everybody weighs in in a different way. I like that, though.

There is no spectacle on earth more appealing than that of a beautiful woman in the act of cooking dinner for someone she loves.

Poor, darling fellow - he died of food. He was killed by the dinner table.

I'm one of the only actresses in Los Angeles who has never waited tables - yet - and I'm so terrible at holding trays. When we shot the 'Vampire Diaries' pilot, I totally spilled water all down Nina Dobrev, and she had to get her hair and make-up redone.

I don't like sitting at a table that's too large, where everyone is too far apart. That's a party killer.

She would have been a very remarkable woman, if she had not been an old maid.

Food is about communal togetherness. Our family does sit at the table. I think it's a great tragedy if a family doesn't have a table, as there is such an atmosphere of good will and warmth when we have eight people sitting around it.
