I travel light. I think the most important thing is to be in a good mood and enjoy life wherever you are.

I do believe sometimes discipline is very important. I'm not just lying around like a lazy cow all the time.

Winning is overrated. The only time it is really important is in surgery and war.

I sacrifice in my love life and my social life but those things will be there in three or four years. This is a really important time in my life. I can't just be the girl who sang 'I Kissed a Girl.' I have to leave a legacy.

The pressure on young chefs today is far greater than ever before in terms of social skills marketing skills cooking skills personality and more importantly delivering on the plate. So you need to be strong. Physically fit. So my chefs get weighed every time they come into the kitchen.

I am shocked at how much time I spend in the White House. I mean you know for people on the outside the idea of going to the White House for a meeting must seem like the most important serious even glamorous kind of thing to do.

If you're living in your time you cannot help but to write about the things that are important.

We are drowning in information while starving for wisdom. The world henceforth will be run by synthesizers people able to put together the right information at the right time think critically about it and make important choices wisely.

I like to spend time in the past with the things that have been important to me.

No matter how busy you are you must take time to make the other person feel important.
