As you get older, you shouldn't waste time drinking bad wine.

Wine is meant to be with food - that's the point of it.

I think one of the terrible things today is that people have this deathly fear of food: fear of eggs, say, or fear of butter. Most doctors feel that you can have a little bit of everything.

If you're afraid of butter, use cream.

Anything that says 'healthy' I say away from... Giving up butter, for instance, means that in about two years you will be covered in dandruff.

I think anyone who is a carnivore needs to understand that meat does not originally come in these neat little packages.

My father was in real estate, banking, and land management. As family life, it was very conventional, happy, and comfortable. We weren't wealthy, but we were well-off.
