Quotes from Mary McCartney

I love kissing. I love kissing my husband, I love kissing my kids, I love kissing my horse. I dont like kissing dogs - I see what they sniff.

You know, Im directing a documentary about the history of Abbey Road Studios at the moment, so Ive been taken back to those times. There is a photograph of me aged three months on one of the sofas in the studio, so I was there before I can remember being there.

My style of cooking is definitely inspired by my mum. She called herself a peasant cook. Shed make recipes up from whatever was in the larder.

I often know what my subject is and what my location is. I know my start and my end, and the rest I leave up to the relationship.
