There's a couple of universal principles in life. One is, don't ever open a restaurant. One out of every two fails.

I'm not a role model to my kids. They're a role model to me.

Food = joy ... guilt ... anger ... pain ... nurturing ... friendship ... hatred ... the way you look and feel.... Food = everything you can imagine.

You can be fat and love yourself. You can be fat and have a great damn personality. You can be fat and sew your own clothes. But you can't be fat and healthy.

If you want a higher power, go to the goddamn sun. Just go to the sun - and stop destroying the ozone layer.

I don't value authority. I don't value the systems. I don't value patriarchal religion. I don't value the things that diminish you when you do tell the truth. So I'm not scared of the end result, and that is the biggest asset I have.

The habits that took years to build, do not take a day to change.
