I wake up every morning happy for where I am in life. It's not all about the cooking, but the fact that I can contribute by using my influence to help people all over the country. In the last two years, my partners and I have fed more than 10 million hungry people by bringing meat to food banks.

I've got two vices: cigarettes and taters.

Love is blind, but marriage is a real eye-opener.

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

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

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!

Love is like smiling, it never fades and is contagious.
