I've got two vices: cigarettes and taters.

I feel like 'embattled' or 'disgraced' will always follow my name. It's like that black football player who recently came out.

You know, I understand that a lot of people, especially up north, put fruits and nuts in their stuffing, which is good, but for myself personally, I love an old-timey savory dressing.

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.

When it's said and done, the one thing I want to leave on this earth is hope. I have felt hopelessness, and it's a terrible feeling. Hopelessness will destroy you. I want to bring hope to other people.

Everyday you wake up on the right side of the dirt is a good one.

I will never use a substitute for butter. Margarine is one molecule away from eating plastic.
