The problem is I am both a procrastinator and a power junkie, so I am very frustrating to work with.

I like television. I still believe that television is the most powerful form of communication on Earth - I just hate what is being done with it.

The way to any woman's heart, be she witch or Wonderwoman, princess or Pocahontas, is through her stomach.

I am a filmmaker. That is all I've ever been. You know, Martin Scorsese makes films about the mob. And I make movies about food.

What happens is that in each clump you've got the gelatinization of starches, which happens very quickly at the surface of the clump and it kind of forms a protective skin around this dry hunk of flour.

Believe me, a grain is a terrible thing to waste.

I never spoke about politics, with the exception of Election Night.
