I’m a basic eater. I love pancakes, burgers, salads and pudding but not fussy food like sushi and duck. I’m not vegetarian but I work for PETA so stuff like foie gras is a no-no. I don’t like wine with food, either. I like bourbon with Diet Coke. I’m diabetic and alcohol can lower your sugars but I make sure I have some carbohydrate before bed. I never think about having a drink in the house, though. In LA, people get in their cars after a few drinks and I’m very against that so one of the things I miss most about London is black cabs. My wedding car is a black cab. This is going to sound so LA, but I have my meals delivered at the moment because I’m doing Studio 60, Aaron Sorkin’s new drama with Matthew Perry, and I barely have time to go to the shops. I take a bag to work containing healthy, balanced, nutritional meals. Breakfast will be scrambled egg with bacon; there’ll be a salad with turkey and chicken; some ribs and vegetables; and three snacks of fruit.
