There's so much going on. I almost never have a moment.

I have my new food line in the works - I think it's over 200 items. Hopefully I can make a difference; it's delicious food that's just so easy. I think it'll help people enjoy their lives... it's good!

People see me on TV two and three times a day, and see me cooking all these wonderfully Southern, fattening dishes. That's only 30 days out of 365. And it's for entertainment.

We are our brothers keeper. Its going to be up to all of us.

I really didn't have an interest in being in the kitchen until after I was married, when I was 18. It didn't take me long to realize that Mama was not going to show up at my house every day and cook.

I'll keep peace at all cost, even if I choke to death on my tongue.

It's amazing how good getting up and moving makes you feel.
