The older I get, and the more I travel in particular, the less I care about what exactly is in the dish than who's cooking it and why.

Everything important I learned, I learned as a dishwasher.

I would like to see people more aware of where their food comes from. I would like to see small farmers empowered. I feed my daughter almost exclusively organic food.

My house is run, essentially, by an adopted, fully clawed cat with a mean nature.

Being a vegan is a first-world phenomenon, completely self-indulgent.

I'm a control freak. If you're going to slap my name on something, I would like to control it.

I wish I could play bass like Larry Graham or Bootsy Collins. My God, I'd give up just about everything else for that.
