I was determined to share my positive approach and not let diabetes stand in the way of enjoying my life.

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

On my show I share all these yummy, fattening recipes, but I tell people, in moderation, in moderation. You can have that little piece of pie.

Working with family is probably one of the hardest things in business, but it can also be one of the most rewarding. You have to be very, very careful that you don't overstep the boundaries that you wouldn't with anyone else. Sometimes, we think that the unconditional love they have for us makes overstepping boundaries alright. It's really not. You have to work harder to not damage the family dynamic. That lasts forever.

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

I don't care what the haters and naysayers say. If they make jokes about me, I'll laugh because they'll probably be funny.

You can have diabetes and have a piece of cake. You cannot have diabetes and eat a whole cake.
