Nobody likes sweaty coleslaw.

I like to cook with the philosophy of using great ingredients and not altering them too much.

I wanted to get away from the Mexican vernacular and do more 'nuevo Latino.' Americans are starting to understand regionality in Mexican food. It is very regional in terms of ingredients.

Latin food suffers like Chinese. You can do marginal Chinese and be successful. You can do crappy Mexican and be packed.

My biggest challenge is cooking traditional French dishes, which usually require very specific techniques and methods. That’s just not my style... I cook from the soul.

I was a little, uh, incorrigible as a kid, so the kitchen was a good place to give me structure and balance. It taught me hard work, but then I grew to love it.

My soul, sir? I haven't got one. The management doesn't allow them.

It is a grim job, this business of looking out over humanity.

I did my time for the rape. I paid my money to Las Vegas. I paid my dues.

The gospel sets us free to become the romantic leaders of our marriages without fright or hesitation. Because we have been forever wooed by Jesus, we are now free to forever woo our wives.

I am emphatically against the privatization of Social Security. It is going to hurt millions of American women, American families and ultimately the whole country

I'm always a bit shy around evil people.

The Word of God is different than other words because God's Word is stuffed full of power and anointing.

All writers, all storytellers, are imposing their own narrative on something.

Studies show that people that are on welfare are higher users of drugs than people not on welfare.

TV is a completely different discipline, which I think I am still learning about. You just have to learn how to work fast and pace yourself.
