All chefs are like Jewish mothers. They want to feed you and feed you and impress you. It's an eagerness to please.

I really love fried chicken.

I love seafood. I'm not a vegetarian but I'm probably a pescetarian.

I think eating in itself is the act of great sensuality, so all you have to do is point the camera in the right direction.

Even the fried chicken is great cold.

I'm not of the American ilk that, you know, your lover needs to be your best friend and know you inside out. I think he should know you well enough to please you. Otherwise, what secret will there be to tell him when you're ninety?

I never Tweet about my daughter. Never. I just want to be respectful of her privacy. My job as a mom is to know when to open my mouth and when not to.
