"I was like any new bride, who said, 'I'm going to cook for my man.' In fact, once I started a small kitchen fire in a pan. Smoke was pouring from the pan, and I got really scared. Right next to our stove is a small fire extinguisher. You know, easy access"
- Catherine Zeta-Jones
About this Quote
In this quote, Catherine Zeta-Jones is explaining her experience as a new bride-to-be and her effort to cook for her partner. She compares herself to other new bride-to-bes who have the very same intent of cooking for their partners. However, her attempt did not go as prepared as she mistakenly started a small cooking area fire in a pan. This caused her to become scared and she rapidly realized the significance of having a fire extinguisher close by. This shows her decision to be a good wife and look after her spouse, but also highlights the challenges and discovering experiences that include being a newlywed.
"Nature gives to every time and season some beauties of its own; and from morning to night, as from the cradle to the grave, it is but a succession of changes so gentle and easy that we can scarcely mark their progress"
