Food was a constant topic of conversation in our household.

I don't know who the hell Paul Lynde is, or why he's funny, and I prefer it to be a mystery to me.

Someday I'm going to go onstage in a dress if I want to.

I often go on a liquid fast a couple of days a week. I never take just water. Instead, I'll have maybe six glasses of vegetable and fruit juices a day.

My kitchen is not a place to live in. I made it white so I can tell instantly if it's not clean-and I like it clean enough to be able to eat off the floors-or the tables,for that matter.

I may find something that looks interesting and then go on to alter the recipe by adding spices, things of my own. I also look for time-saving recipes, dishes that can be prepared ahead and stored.

I don't understand why people don't remember my name.
