Cooking Quote by Da'Vine Joy Randolph
“I cooked for real when filming 'The Holdovers.' Reading the script, it felt very quiet and intimate - like when you're snowed in. For me, the cooking is very intentional and I really like to take my time. It's special and it matters, so I wanted that level of detail.”
