For me, cooking is very connected to my family and friends.

Divorce is so common and accepted in America that beating myself up over it may sound ridiculous. But I was raised to believe that divorce wasn't an option; to me, divorce equaled failure. I wasn't able to change that equation until I found myself in the right relationship.

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.

You know, really - actually, it's funny because it's a sore spot with me because I have all these recipes that, you know, you have to measure things out and put them in. And then you bake it and it becomes this thing. And it's not a recipe.

I don't spend time wondering what might be next; I just focus on trying to savor every day.

There's an energy about Nashville that I love and I miss. And it's so awesome right now. It has a new energy that's so cool.

I like a gooey cookie.
