When I came to the Food Network I didn't want to do a cooking show. I told Kathleen Finch for nine months I didn't want to do a cooking show I wanted to do a home-and-garden show.

If there is to be any hope of prosperity for this country it is by reversing that policy which made us simply the kitchen garden for supplying the British with cheap food.

Quantity in food is more to be regarded than quality. A full meal is a great enemy both to study and industry.

Exercise should be regarded as tribute to the heart.

It is an open question whether any behavior based on fear of eternal punishment can be regarded as ethical or should be regarded as merely cowardly.

The weeds keep multiplying in our garden which is our mind ruled by fear. Rip them out and call them by name.

Collective fear stimulates herd instinct and tends to produce ferocity toward those who are not regarded as members of the herd.

I always regarded people who want fame with a lot of suspicion. Unless you have a product to sell I don't know why anyone would want to be famous. I can't imagine what need that would fill.

I play with my grandchildren. I tend to my garden which I love. Of course I love to read and family is really what it's all about.

But if each man could have his own house a large garden to cultivate and healthy surroundings - then I thought there will be for them a better opportunity of a happy family life.
