The American public is not aware that there might be potential allergenic and toxic reactions. With regular food at least people know which foods they have an allergy to.

Basically there are two things we know: Everybody has less time and the general public is demanding better food - better in terms of quality and better in terms of flavor.

'The Food Network' was just starting in New York and I was getting lots of attention from Mesa Grill. They had no money so if you couldn't get there by subway you couldn't be on. It wasn't like TV was something I really wanted to do - but I knew it would be great publicity for my restaurants.

The term 'serious actor' is kind of an oxymoron isn't it? Like 'Republican party' or 'airplane food.'

The public character of every public servant is legitimate subject of discussion and his fitness or unfitness for office may be fairly canvassed by any person.

The Republican Party is not in the hands of the Jewish lobby in America as the Democratic Party must look quite often to Jewish money to finance candidates.

To be fair lying is part and parcel of public life. Every politician has lied about something because they are owned by the special interest groups that finance their elections.

My expertise was in public finance particularly corporate taxation since I had worked at the US Treasury.

We'll have a public power authority which will also have the ability to build power or finance power. And more importantly we'll have more power than our economy provides. All of that will give us leverage we don't have today.

The one thing I've learned is that stuttering in public is never as bad as I fear it will be.
