I enjoy staying home with friends more than going out. The other night, for example, my girlfriends and I stayed in listening to some '90s rap - my favorite kind. We were in the Hamptons and made it an all-Biggie weekend, all of his albums on repeat. I loved it.
When I have extra time I just go out to the Hamptons. I have a house in Southampton I go out to as much as I possibly can.
I've lived in the Hamptons since 1978, when I first bought my store Barefoot Contessa.
The Hamptons are usually filled with what I had hoped to leave behind in New York City.
Growing up on, say, the Upper East Side, you're so isolated. If you go to the Hamptons every weekend, you never talk to a construction worker, and the construction worker would never talk to you.
I'm no day at the beach. And if it is a beach, it's Hampton Beach. Ever been there? It's not nice.
I was at a party in the Hamptons this weekend with some buddies I grew up with, ... All of a sudden, they part the way for us to get in and it's, like, 'What can we do for you?' So, yeah, I guess the show is definitely registering.
I'm not particularly fond of the Hamptons.
