My family are very down-to-earth people. We are not showbizzy at all.
I loved their home. Everything smelled older, worn but safe; the food aroma had baked itself into the furniture.
I love the normalcy of Cleveland. There's regular people there.
The gruel that children's little hands have stirredIs sweeter than nectar.
Homely truth is unpalatable.
I love the warmth of apple pie.
I'd love to look incredibly glamorous, but I am a wholesome, comforting nanny type: I think I look like an advertisement for wholemeal flour or something.
I can't make a house homely. My house just looks like a garage or a shed. I'm not untidy, but it just looks so uninviting.
With little here to do or see Of things that in the great world be, Sweet Daisy! oft I talk to thee For thou art worthy, Thou unassuming commonplace Of Nature, with that homely face, And yet with something of a grace Which love makes for thee!
I'm too homely for a prima donna and too ugly for a soubrette.
