I like feeling like an ox at the end of the day. I like working hard.

Since I never get on a scale, I have no idea how much weight I've lost!

When you're out grocery shopping for your family, maybe you can put a can of cat or dog food in your cart and bring it to an animal relief center.

You know, food is such - it's a hug for people.

NASA asked me to create meals for the space shuttle. Thai chicken was the favorite. I flew in a fake space shuttle, but I have no desire to go into space after seeing the toilet.

Never be a food snob. Learn from everyone you meet - the fish guy at your market, the lady at the local diner, farmers, cheese makers. Ask questions, try everything and eat up!

When you really want to show some love, keep the flowers and say it with spaghetti.
