I think Ian McKellen made it all happen, because he used to throw dinner parties and invite everyone over.

I don't have dinner parties - I eat my dinner in bed.

I just don't get invited to the same dinner parties I used to like to go to.

Dinner parties are still highly popular, and I believe they always will be.

If you have an Ina Garten-level roasted-chicken recipe, it's a game changer. I bring that to dinner parties and make a lot of friends.

At dinner parties I sit below the salt now. There are a lot of interesting people there.
