People will travel anywhere for good food - it's crazy.

Take a trip to the forest and experience the greatness of getting on your knees and picking your own food and going home... and eating it.

To get at the truth of your calling, you have to crack open that false self and see what lies within.

He has no worse enemy than himself.

Give the world the best you have and you may get hurt. Give the world your best anyway.

I'm just passionately in love with my kids.
