I'm not particularly fond of the Hamptons.
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.
We're not out holding fundraisers in the Hamptons or in Beverly Hills.
The Hamptons are usually filled with what I had hoped to leave behind in New York City.
Believe me, I've done my time travelling the world in cramped conditions and carrying my own luggage. Now my leisure is summers in the south of France or the Hamptons, walking in Connemara, and year-round shopping in Manhattan and Paris.
I worked for the Office of Management and Budget in the White House, on nuclear energy policy. But I decided it would be much more fun to have a specialty food store, so I left Washington D. C. and moved to the Hamptons. And how glad I am that I did!
I'm no day at the beach. And if it is a beach, it's Hampton Beach. Ever been there? It's not nice.
John Kerry has promised to take this country back from the wealthy. Who better than the guy worth $700 million to take the country back? See, he knows how the wealthy think. He can spy on them at his country club, at his place in Palm Beach, at his house in the Hamptons. He's like a mole for the working man.
