I have failed so much, but I have learned so much more in life from my failures than my successes.

I've always been told I have a giant placenta.

New York City is my playground.

My recipes aren't geared towards women; my books are marketed towards women because women are the biggest market for weight loss, weight management and weight maintenance and for cooking.

Sleep. It's like giving yourself a massage.

Life is an obstacle course. You succeed at one thing and then you move on to the next. When an obstacle is tough, you try harder. When an obstacle is insurmountable, you change course. But you never sit down and refuse to finish.

It's hard to wind down, but then I beat myself up because I have a tense back.
