Highlights

  • Actress Gwyneth Paltrow, who raises two kids with husband Chris Martin, says that she only allows her children to watch television in French or Spanish instead of their native English.
  • "Apple was cross as I only let them watch TV in French or Spanish. When I'm in France, I go to Boulevard Beaumarchais and buy all their cartoons," she said.
  • The 39-year-old also spoke about her own "draconian diet" and while she has eased the macrobiotic lifestyle, she still cheats every now and then, reported Daily Mail.
  • "I was very strict for a while, I was macrobiotic for a couple of years, then I got pregnant and just ate ice cream. What I've learned is that I want to enjoy my life, and food is a big part of it. I love to cook and feed people. I cook every day.
  • "My indulging is a fresh baguette with cheese and a glass of red wine or french fries and fried zucchini. Or a turkey burger," she said.
  • Paltrow also said her marriage to Martin is still going strong after nine years because of a strong friendship bond they share.
  • "Probably our artistic temperaments. Artists are sensitive; there are ups and downs mood-wise. Musicians need a certain gravitas and focus in order to write. The temperament that goes with someone who is creative can be challenging. I focus more on understanding than being understood."
