I'm better with my hands, and I always loved the slightly romantic idea of starting with bits of wood and being able to create something to sit on, to eat from, to store your clothes in.

Real food doesn't have ingredients, real food is ingredients.

I profoundly believe that the power of food has a primal place in our homes that binds us to the best bits of life.

The whole idea is to earn the flavor. No one gives it to you.

When you are trying to move mountains you want-and need-people on your side who want to move them with you.

You could make mistakes when you lived together because you knew you'd wake up the next morning with another chance.

It is a scientific fact that your body will not absorb cholesterol if you take it from another person's plate.

True and absolute freedom is only found in the presence of God.

I regret that the presentation I made at the UN turned out to be wrong. It was wrong on the stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction, but pretty much right on intentions and capabilities.

A role can go from being a babe to anything, as long as it's something that makes me curious.

Leaders are like point guards, we set people up to score.

The wider world is a click away, but whether we mean to or not, we're usually filtering it out.
