Perhaps we don't need these religious concoctions to pillow the fear of death. Just the fact that there is an unknown and something greater can bring a feeling of peace. That's enough for me.

Lidia Bastianich sorry but kind of boring. I mean I love Lidia but you can fall asleep watching her. And Mario Batali? I love Mario to death... but he's not romantic or sensual. Those are the things I bring to the table.

Giving is good but taking is bad and brings death.

O Death rock me asleep bring me to quiet rest let pass my weary guiltless ghost out of my careful breast.

As a well spent day brings happy sleep so life well used brings happy death.

It seems to me that if you or I must choose between two courses of thought or action we should remember our dying and try so to live that our death brings no pleasure on the world.

As a well-spent day brings happy sleep so a life well spent brings happy death.

On my best days such as when I was a junior in high school coming off a 42-point performance and near triple-double my dad was there to tell me I haven't arrived yet and bring me back to reality.

My goal is for Gunnar to outlive me. That's the way it should be. My dream is for him to be a dad himself one day so he can find out all the anxiety that kids bring to their dads.

The best thing I ever learned from my dad was he knew he wasn't the best of singers but he always knew he was a great entertainer and I always thought that was a good concept to bring along that ultimately acting is an entertainment art and you have to be aware of the fact that you want people to be excited to be watching you.
