Students need to learn how to think critically, how to argue opposing ideas. It is important for them to learn how to think. You can always cook.

Always make stock in a large quantity and freeze it in plastic bags. That way, when you want to make a nice soup or boil veggies, you can simply pull the bag out of the freezer.

You have to be critical of what you do every day, to analyze it and be willing to push it further.

I wasnt using college as a stepping stone to law school or some other career. I just wanted a liberal-arts education.

I’m all about making money. It’s the greatest thing, because it means you get money to spend.

I love faltering. I love, in a sense, coming up short. Because you learn nothing from success. You learn so much from failing.
