I almost never make stuff out of cookbooks because they're either too complicated or there's an ingredient in there that I can't find.

It's funny, the whole cooking thing came out of just a random thought of writing a cookbook with my mom and my sister for fun.

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

I've never been the girl that's had the five-year plan, the 10-year plan and I'm still not.

She's got her God and she's got good wine, Aretha Franklin, and Patsy Cline.

When I made my first album, there was no indication that anybody other than my parents were going to buy it.

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