We had a happy marriage because we were together all the time. We were friends as well as husband and wife. We just had a good time.

Noodles are not only amusing but delicious.

The only time to eat diet food is while you're waiting for the steak to cook.

A party without cake is really just a meeting.

You don't have to cook fancy or complicated masterpieces - just good food from fresh ingredients.

People who love to eat are always the best people.

The only real stumbling block is fear of failure. In cooking you've got to have a what-the-hell attitude.

I was 32 when I started cooking; up until then, I just ate.

In department stores, so much kitchen equipment is bought indiscriminately by people who just come in for men's underwear.

Find something you're passionate about and keep tremendously interested in it.

I think anyone who is a carnivore needs to understand that meat does not originally come in these neat little packages.

Mentally I can die, Emotionally I can cry, Physically I can sigh, Spirituality I can fly. If I just try.

From the very beginning, there was not the slightest doubt that Olga da Polga was the sort of guinea pig who would go places.

A man finds himself seven years older the day after his marriage.

I love music. I have a fondness for Chopin, and I very much like his 'Raindrop Prelude.'

We were ensconced as guests of the exclusive Beverly Hilton Hotel, an edifice so swank that the fire ax in the hall outside our suite said: "In case of fire-break crystal."

When I was 24, I was full of life. I was that ham who wanted to be famous, a movie star, all that stuff. I think it's cool. But it was not what I was searching for, really. It was more a delusion.

I sometimes hear people say women don't want to direct studio films, but I do. I want to direct big films, little films, TV. I want to do it all.

The greatest single lesson to be learned from golf is mental discipline.

Just because you are struggling does NOT mean you are failing. Every great success requires some kind of struggle to get there.

Discipline is what makes a writer. If writing was like lifting weights, then I'd look like Mr. Universe. Write every day. Give the Muse a chance to get to know you.
