I am a hero worshiper. I love the number one tennis player. I love the number one baseball player. I want to see those records broken.

I get up really early, and I go to bed really late. Sometimes I get tired, but it's not important. I have an exciting existence, and there's so much to do.

Really try to find a job where it's fun to get up and get out the door, no matter what time.

To entertain at home is both a relief and a rediscovery - of rooms and settings, of your favorite things, and particularly of your own tastes and ideas.

The first book really was kind of an entertaining textbook for the homemaker. I couldn't find a good book about entertaining in 1982, and neither could my friend, so I decided to write it.

My dream... was to be an eclectic knowledge-gathering person.

So the pie isn't perfect? Cut it into wedges. Stay in control, and never panic.
