I had written two cookbooks, and they had done well, but I wanted to move to fitness, because it's big with me.

I believe in national service, I believe that every young adult citizen should do two years of national service. Not necessarily to be deployed, but to understand teamwork, responsibility and mixing with different people.

The sharing of food is like breaking bread, it's very symbolic.

The Food Network and the Cooking Channel have so many viewers. And, because there's no violence, some of that audience is children. So, I think we have a responsibility to educate parents how to produce healthy meals for their families.

I was wrong to exaggerate in statements related to my experiences in the White House and the Royal Family. I am truly sorry for misleading people and misstating the facts.

Every time I tour military outlets, I dedicate the food, fitness and set-ups to their service, because it all came to me through the military.

I've never been a competition guy.
