I do remember in high school I wanted to be a disc jockey.

Although I grew up in Kansas City, ... I have always kept more or less au courant of Texas barbecue, like a sports fan who is almost monomaniacally obsessed with basketball but glances over at the N.H.L. standings now and then.

When it comes to Chinese food I have always operated under the policy that the less known about the preparation the better. A wise diner who is invited to visit the kitchen replies by saying, as politely as possible, that he has a pressing engagement elsewhere.

People, not just reporters, are more interested in politics than in government, so the actual issues wouldn't be something that interested them.

Canadians are very well behaved, they don't throw their food.

It was a given in our family that my father was a grocer so that I wouldn't have to be.

Getting a tattoo would probably make me cry.
