Never apologize for your cooking.

I always give my bird a generous butter massage before I put it in the oven. Why? Because I think the chicken likes it -- and, more important, I like to give it.

The only time to eat diet food is while you're waiting for the steak to cook.

I was never a spy. I was with the OSS organization. We had a number of women, but we were all office help.

Upon reflection, I decided I had three main weaknesses: I was confused (evidenced by a lack of facts, an inability to coordinate my thoughts, and an inability to verbalize my ideas); I had a lack of confidence, which cause me to back down from forcefully stated positions; and I was overly emotional at the expense of careful, 'scientific' though. I was thirty-seven years old and still discovering who I was.

Food, like the people who eat it, can be stimulated by wine or spirits. And, as with people, it can also be spoiled.

No one's more important than people.
