I'm lucky to find a person to share my life, and the best friend I'll ever have.

I'm just trying to matter and live a good life and make work that means something to somebody.

Confidence is everything in this business.

I love to cook comfort food. I'll make fish and vegetables or meat and vegetables and potatoes or rice. The ritual of it is fun for me, and the creativity of it.

We each own one car, and we have a reasonable house. It's a lovely place to be, but it's not extravagant.

I don't believe in perfection. I don't think there is such a thing. But the energy of wanting things to be great is a perfectionist energy.

For our first date, I made Ryan Hamburger Helper, which is basically what I grew up on. I make my own version of it now, with macaroni and cheese and hamburger meat. And the kids - it's their favorite dinner.
