I don't get to watch a lot of TV. I just do all my news and reading and "Meet the Press," all that fun, exciting stuff.

I really see food as subjective. It's a creative outlet. It's something that you do for fun. It's a gray area. It's not black and white or right and wrong.

My dad was in the Navy, so we moved around a lot. That led to me seeing myriad cultures and cuisines. I have been excited about eating and cooking for as long as I can remember.

People love kids and kids like to cook.

It seldom pays to be rude. It never pays to be only half-rude.

But in order to be the thing you want to be, you have to work like a dog at the thing you love.

You have to not worry or doubt or punish yourself. All the worry, doubt and punishment will not add one second to your life, you know?

Your beautiful mouth was moving like a caterpillar. I reached out and tried to catch it.

The soul is born old but grows young. That is the comedy of life.

Sometimes I feel like I'm sailing on a sunken dream

I really admire police officers, surgeons, or anyone who works in high stressed situations.
