I'm always on the lookout for those good, simple solutions to everyday problems.

You can be the most beautiful person on earth, and if you don't have a fitness or diet routine, you won't be beautiful.

I have set a standard, and I'm going to stick to the standard. I may have been able to grow faster and maybe my business could have been bigger, but because I really feel very serious about my subject, I really want to be hands-on.

I support Alice Waters in her desire that there be a vegetable garden at the White House. I don't think they should rip up the Rose Garden, because that's something that I love. They should probably dig up another patch and grow some vegetables there.

Getting over those unexpected hurdles may not be exactly enjoyable, but ultimately I believe that such challenges and the solutions we find give us more confidence.They teach us with common sense and determination we can turn what looks like a disaster into a triumph.

Gardening is a humbling experience.

I have a microphone on one ankle and an ankle bracelet on the other, so I'm well balanced today.
