A gourmet who thinks of calories is like a tart who looks at her watch.

I don't like gourmet cooking or "this" cooking or "that" cooking. I like good cooking.

Food is our common ground, a universal experience.

Too few people understand a really good sandwich.

I believe that if ever I had to practice cannibalism, I might manage if there were enough tarragon around.

I don't like gourmet cooking or 'this' cooking or 'that' cooking. I like good cooking.

Good bread is the most fundamentally satisfying of all foods and good bread with fresh butter the greatest of feasts.

The kitchen, reasonably enough, was the scene of my first gastronomic adventure. I was on all fours. I crawled into the vegetable bin, settled on a giant onion and ate it, skin and all. It must have marked me for life, for I have never ceased to love the hearty flavor of raw onions.

If I had to narrow my choice of meats down to one for the rest of my life, I am quite certain that meat would be pork.

If you slurp them, so be it. Because the truly best way, the only classical and true way to eat pasta , is with gusto.

Pasta is always the same, yet always different. It has a comforting familiarity with it's pale golden color and chewy, wheaten taste.

Too many simple green salads suffer from a lack of imagination.

If you have never tasted a braised vegetable, you'll find it is a revelation.

No vegetable exists which is not better slightly undercooked.

It is almost impossible to carry the torch of truth through a crowd without singeing somebodys beard.

The more you learn, the more you realize how much there is to learn.

Bullies may be the perpetrators of evil, but it is the evil of passivity of all those who know what is happening and never intervene that perpetuates such abuse.

We evolved to move and to learn with all our five senses!

I have very young looks, so it's easy for me to play high school, but I'm trying to stay away from high-school movies. As I get older, I'll try and broaden my talents.

I appreciate my international fans all over the world.

Rendition is just sending people abroad to be tortured.

Ruskin's concern for art education applied to the development of the power of the hand and eye for everyone.

All my life I believed I became an athlete through my own determination, but it's impossible to think that being descended from slaves hasn't left an imprint through the generations. Difficult as it was to hear, slavery has benefited descendants like me - I believe there is a superior athletic gene in us.

I've often noticed that we are not able to look at what we have in front of us, unless it's inside a frame.

I like generals. I like Napoleon. I like strategy. The majority of them are praised for mass destruction, but it's exciting to see how it comes to the mind mentally.

I'm consistently asked how I keep a foot in two contrasting worlds - one in the entertainment industry, predicated on wealth and indulgence, and the other in humanitarian work. To me, it's less of a question of how can you do this, and more a question of how can you not?

Whether it's standing backstage with Jennifer Lopez in a dress that I know everyone will be talking about tomorrow... or being there when incredible news breaks, and instead where people sit in front of their TVs and look at it, I'm the person who goes there to bring you the story... It's amazing. It's unbelievable.

This is how it has been since time began: If you want to make something really worthwhile and true, then you have to suffer for it.

At the end of the day we want to bring stability and hope to Iraq. That's the only way to defeat terrorism.

I'm not a great dancer. I'm a great advertisement for freedom of expression. I don't care what you think. I'm having a great time.

My father was never around, and my mother used to worry that the kids won't grow up to be connected to him.

Bring down Mike Mann and we can bring down the IPCC, they reckoned. It is a classic technique for the deniers' movement, I have discovered, and I don't mean only those who reject the idea of global warming but those who insist that smoking doesn't cause cancer or that industrial pollution isn't linked to acid rain.

Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die. Life is a broken-winged bird, that cannot fly.

I've always been very good at convincing people. For instance, if I arrive in an airport and I'm in economy, I can always convince the guy to put me in first class.

I like to do the research of history and the creativity of writing fiction. I am creating this thing which I think is twice as difficult as writing either history or fiction.

We made them drink poison last night and Saddam Hussein's soldiers and his great forces gave the Americans a lesson which will not be forgotten by history. Truly.

The contracts for Iraqi rebuilding are commercial contracts. I think being in the coalition of the willing puts us in the radar screen, but we also have to compete with other countries that are in the coalition of the willing, but the Philippines is a country that has produced world-class skilled workers that we have seen all over the world.

I don't like going for more than a year without doing theatre. I don't mind falling flat on my face so long as I feel I'm open to the possibility of something extraordinary happening.
