I love cooking for myself and cooking for my family.

My first college roommate greeted me with a shocked silence followed by, 'So. . .you're black.

In our society leaving baby with Daddy is just one step above leaving the kids to be raised by wolves or apes.

In the pregnancy process I have come to realize how much of the burden is on the female partner. She's got a construction zone going on in her belly.

I don't make plans, because life is short and unpredictable - much like the weather!

I have been blessed with working with the best in the business.

If you're lucky enough to be raised in a rich family, good. But learn how to respect that luck. It's not a given, you know? It's not like, 'Well, it's normal'. No, it's not normal. It's lucky.

I'd rather write one good book than ten mediocre ones.

There are no friends at cards or world politics

No human investigation can claim to be scientific if it doesn't pass the test of mathematical proof.

I've done the same thing in the world of business that winners do in the game. I watch them, admire them.

We do not project power from bankruptcy court. We're borrowing a million dollars a minute.

Better not to exist than live basely.

But Freedom Strike was actually quite cool.
