I do sit-ups and push-ups at home, and that's about it. I have a gym card, but I never go there. It's a front. I pay for the membership every couple of years, thinking I'll be embarrassed enough to go. But every time I go, there's like people twice my age that look twice as good!

Whatever it is you want to do, take a job in that field. You will learn by experience and, slow and steady, you'll get it done!

I've also learned that you can't be all things to all people. Whatever it is that you're successful at, that has to be the No. 1 goal.

If you're humble and hardworking, opportunities will arise for you.

I've never been a huge sweets eater, and I've always loved a Mediterranean diet. We eat a lot of dark leafy greens, and a couple meals each week are meat-free. We enjoy eating a balanced diet.

I'm not a chef. I haven't created any new technique in the kitchen. I'm not a rocket scientist. I think I'm good at writing accessible, fun, and affordable meals for the average American family. That's what I think I'm good at.

I used to say I would never run unless I was being chased by someone with a gun. Now I'm a little obsessed with it!
