I used to hang out by the food table at parties because you don't have to talk to anybody. If you do then you can talk about the food.

I'd much rather be in a movie that people have really strong feelings about than one that makes a hundred million dollars but you can't remember because it's just like all the others.

I'm a typical middle child. I'm the mediator. The one that makes everything OK, puts their own needs aside to make sure everybody's happy. It's hard to change your nature, even with years and years of therapy.

I could never play the ingenue, the girl next door or the very successful young doctor. That would be a bore.

I like a movie that the audience actively has to participate in, and not just casually observe. Whatever my part in it, just as an audience member, I find that exciting.

Writing, producing and directing, I must say, is incredibly satisfying and gratifying. I've never been happier.

Acting for kids is like playing house, you know? But growing up in Hollywood, it just made it seem possible.

I don't really watch my moves all that often; I mean, really, I don't.

I don't want to play the same person twice, that's not why I wanted to act.

I hate parties. I don't like big crowded things.

I just don't want to talk about my personal life. I feel like it's mine, I'm not trying to promote it. It's nice to have things that are your own, that you value enough that you don't have to use to sell a movie.

I like a movie that the audience actively has to participate in and not just casually observe.

It's very exciting to work with people who inspire you.

One of the reasons that I do a lot of different kinds of pictures is because I learn a lot when I'm doing them.

People can have so many ill-conceived ideas about me based on the parts that I play. I've had guys, when I've been single, come out of the woodwork to date me and I've found out very quickly that they were expecting some kind of whirlwind, some dramatic crazy person - and that's just not me.

People equate success with youth. And if you haven't had a certain amount of success by a certain time in your life, it's never going to happen. There's a fear about that. So people start lying about their age really young. I've never done that because I think it's so insignificant.

Writing, producing and directing, I must say, is incredibly satisfying and gratifying.

You know, you really do choose your existence in a way.

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.

Islands are known to differ in the food supply available to ground finches, mainly seeds.

I've always done food that can work in a set time frame. The message I'm trying to get across is, it doesn't have to take three days to do this. With planning, you can do a lot and really have quality food every day.

You know, nobody eats in England. Three or four pints of English beer a night fills you. I can't say I'm very impressed with the food in America. it's all sort of bland. Like turkey sandwiches.

Food simply isn't important to me.

It all comes back to the basics. Serve customers the best-tasting food at a good value in a clean, comfortable restaurant, and they'll keep coming back.

Unfortunately, the food industry has not yet faced this situation and begun taking measures to avoid exploiting our weakness for not knowing when we have had enough.

All my jobs have been with food in one way or another since 1948. My parents were in the hotel business, and I just loved the warm hearted people who worked so hard with such good humor.

Everyone would talk about their diets and working out and what it made me do was go to craft services where all the food for the cast and crew was and I would eat.
