I'm working harder than ever now and I'm putting on my pants the same as I always have. I just get up every day and try to do a little better than the day before and that is to run a great restaurant with great food great wine and great service. That's my philosophy.

Baking cookies is comforting and cookies are the sweetest little bit of comfort food. They are very bite-sized and personal.

People love their animals so much so that they put little clothes on them and necklaces and booties and things like that. And if you love your animal then you should feed them something that's not dangerous for them. There's a lot of poisonous stuff that they're putting in a lot of that food those by-products.

Animals that we eat are raised for food in the most economical way possible and the serious food producers do it in the most humane way possible. I think anyone who is a carnivore needs to understand that meat does not originally come in these neat little packages.

More die in the United States of too much food than of too little.

I try and maintain a little bit of fitness man.

If we could give every individual the right amount of nourishment and exercise not too little and not too much we would have found the safest way to health.

I think however that so long as our present economic and national systems continue scientific research has little to fear.

We fear doing too little when we should do more. Then atone by doing too much when perhaps we should do less.

Somehow we can't live outside the politics of race. There's something very deep in all of us that is taught to us when we are very very little. Which is the disrespect and fear of the other.
