I can't stand the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard!

In life you don't regret the things you do, you regret the things you don't do.

For Sunday breakfast, I make orange and ricotta pancakes, crepes and eggs. You know men, we usually go for breakfast because it's the easiest thing to cook and then we try to make it seem fancy.

Television is teaching all the time. Does more educating than the schools and all the institutions of higher learning.

First let a little love find entrance into their hearts, and the rest will follow.
