Paltrow sets her sights on the kitchen

Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow says her film ambitions have died and she would love to be a chef.

The Shakespeare in Love star said she would probably have pursued a different career had she known how great the pressures of celebrity were.

"I understand that if you set out to be a celebrity, then you asked for it, but all I wanted to be was an actor," she said. "I didn't know that it was going to turn into this kind of thing.

"If I had, then I would have majorly reassessed my decision. Because I don't think it's good for a family or relationships."

The 32-year-old told Interview magazine that her other great loves in life were art and cooking, and she was thinking of training for a career in the kitchen.
