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

Music is my No. 1 passion. If you made me choose between music and food, it's definitely music.

It's cool when your husband starts to sing some old Merle Haggard song and I can pop in with a harmony and it doesn't sound too bad.

When you're sick, nobody takes care of you like your mom.

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

'm the inspiration for picking it up off the floor after it fell off the stool and figuring out a way to make it still work.

I don't interest myself that much.
