I believe that everyone should be treated equal, that's the way I was raised and that's the way I live my life.

I don't want to spend my life not having good food going into my pie hole. That hole was made for pies.

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.

If you've got a good idea and you're willing to do whatever it takes to pursue it, keep your head up and eyes open because you don't know when opportunity will come knocking.

It’s just what they are — they’re jokes…most jokes are about Jewish people, rednecks, black folks…I can’t determine what offends another person.

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

I've got two vices: cigarettes and taters.
