Quotes from the Interview:
* our yoga practices…I often describe that to my students as like brushing your teeth. We brush our teeth every morning and night, why would we not move our body and clear our our energy throughout the day?
* It helps me to remember that we’re all gonna graduate – we’re all gonna get there in our own time – that we can’t ever fall out of it, [out of] love or God.
* That’s a sweeter feeling…that even when you’re having an argument with your beloved and you’re losing you can feel like ‘Oh, this is God too’.
* It’s not your birthday every day. at some moments you want others to rise and shine.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
