'Meg recently read Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. "I loved it," says Meg, whose split from Quaid and subsequent relationship with actor Russell Crowe in 2000 were much publicized. "I could understand her wanting to write the book and her desire to heal. She gets a divorce and decides she's going to do what she wants to do."'

'I've just finished reading Eat, Pray, Love, which is amazing. It's not that it's light -- it's incredibly deep and connected and wonderful -- it's just that she writes with such lightness.'

Julia Roberts, Life Magazine
'"My friend Paige and I are reading a book together, Eat, Pray, Love, and we keep calling each other saying "What page are you on?" It's about a woman's sojourn through three countries, and it's fantastic. It's what I'm giving all my girlfriends for Christmas." (Julia is scheduled to play Elizabeth in the film adaptation. She sent her the prayer beads, the ones she wore each day that whole year.)'
