I played every bad guy in Shakespeare.

I had kicked around the idea for Good Eats when I was directing commercials.

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.

I'm grateful my teenaged daughter is healthy and well and for the work I do to make a living.

You know we fixate on the food so much itself: “Oh, the ultimate brownie or the ultimate this or that” -- well, let me tell you something: It’s all poop in about 12 hours, okay? The real power that food has is its ability to connect human beings to each other -- that’s the stuff right there and, to me, everything else is secondary to that.

Last year, I made a refrigerator in my basement. And I needed to because I needed to figure how - you know there is no such thing as 'cold.' There is only less heat.

I feel like being on Broadway will convince my mother that my theater degree was worth it.
