I'm an activist for gay marriage equality and children's rights. I'm the face of Share Our Strength.

I like to create what I call 'tablescapes.' It's so much more fun when you organize your table around a theme, don't you think?

I don't think there are any footsteps to be walked in. No one else has taken things that you can buy at the grocery store and put them together. I hope that I have a career as long as Julia Child.

Different types of chicken come at different price points. Filets are going to be more expensive. If it's bone-in and skin-on it's going to be less expensive.

I think women today are so overwhelmed and overtaxed.

My most cherished possessions are my grandma's letters and my vintage Martha Washington cookbook.

I had to be frugal, thoughtful, resourceful. I didn't have anyone to tell me, 'You can't.' When you're young, you think you can do anything, and that was really a gift. That's why I can never understand someone telling me 'no' today. 'No' just isn't an option.
