Nobody who cooks does it with full hair and makeup in front of a TV camera.

My upbringing did not create a healthy affection for confrontation. I'd love it if everyone always got along, and nothing ever got tense.

Standing behind a kitchen counter telling people about what ingredients to put in a pot didn't feel right.

I don't interest myself that much.

What's meant to be will always find a way.

When people compliment my cooking, it's like somebody telling me that they like my music. And it's great to be known for something else.

Songs are like movies to me, and so you put yourself in the movie. You become a character in the movie.
