I dropped out of high school. I really had no interest in doing any school work whatsoever.

I love the culture of grilling. It creates an atmosphere that is festive but casual.

Go vegetable heavy. Reverse the psychology of your plate by making meat the side dish and vegetables the main course.

A grill is just a source of heat. Just like a stove, it is very user-friendly.

Cooking is a subject you can never know enough about. There is always something new to discover.

I'd love to visit Thailand just for the street food and the energy of a city like Bangkok.

I love using gas grills because they are easier to heat and it's much easier to control the flames with a gas grill than with a charcoal fire. Grilling is not just about lighting a fire.

Take risks and you'll get the payoffs. Learn from your mistakes until you succeed.

He loved her all he could; but he couldn't love her very much.

We will stand up for what is right, for what is fair and what is just. Health care is a right and not a privilege.

Vice may be learnt, even without a teacher

The best thing you can give children, next to good habits, are good memories.

A good amount of the guys wanted to date me. Even older guys looking at me. It took some getting used to.
