Look at the average American diet: ice cream butter cheese whole milk all this fat. People don't realize how much of this stuff you get by the end of the day. High blood pressure is from all this high-fat eating.

I think violence cynicism brutality and fashion are the staples of our diet. I think in the grand history of story-telling going back to people sitting around fires the dark side of human nature has always been very important. Movies are part of that tradition.

Mexican food is far more varied than people think. It changes like dialects. I was brought up in Jalisco by the sea on a basic diet - tomatoes chillis peppers of every size and rice which is a Mexican staple. The Pacific coast has a huge array of seafood.

But I can only take so much TV because there is so much advice. I find people will preach about virtually anything - your diet how to live your life how to improve your golf. The lot. I have always had a thing against the Mister Know-It-Alls.

Do not suppose however that I intend to urge a diet of classics on anybody. I have seen such diets at work. I have known people who have actually read all or almost all the guaranteed Hundred Best Books. God save us from reading nothing but the best.

I was starting to become impotent through this diet and couldn't perform. How many people who are taking the little blue pill if they started to change what they are eating most of the time could change the way their sex life is?

Their diet is basically boiled vegetables fish and rice. No fat no sugar. You notice when you live there that there are no fat people.

I saw many people who had advanced heart disease and I was so frustrated because I knew if they just knew how to do the right thing simple lifestyle and diet steps that the entire trajectory of their life and health would have been different.

A balanced diet may be the best medicine. I was eating too much good eats. But people consider that part of your job you know? Eat. And I do!

In the 1970s we got nouvelle cuisine in which a lot of the old rules were kicked over. And then we had cuisine minceur which people mixed up with nouvelle cuisine but was actually fancy diet cooking.

I'm a wonderful disaster. So are you. We're all a mess. We're in this culture that says take this pill and you'll be happy go on this diet and you'll be thinner have your teeth whitened people will love you more.

Healthy people are those who live in healthy homes on a healthy diet in an environment equally fit for birth growth work healing and dying... Healthy people need no bureaucratic interference to mate give birth share the human condition and die.

Feeding is a very important ritual for me. I don't trust people who don't like to eat.

It seems every year people make the resolution to exercise and lose weight and get in shape.

People who shop in health food stores never look healthy.

Each of us should take personal responsibility for our diet and our children's diet and the government's role should be to make certain it provides the best information possible to help people stay healthy.

You see people who have been very heavy in their life who have taken that body trimmed it down firmed it up through discipline exercise and being able to say no. Eating properly that all comes into it.

Some people are willing to pay the price and it's the same with staying healthy or eating healthy. There's some discipline involved. There's some sacrifices.

French fries. I love them. Some people are chocolate and sweets people. I love French fries. That and caviar.

My doctor told me to stop having intimate dinners for four. Unless there are three other people.

We want people to realize you are at a design school not a land grant college. The way we look says a great deal about who we are.

Different people have different styles but there is an opportunity as a director to be a writer in every moment with every visual cue and every piece of production design. Everything is a decision and everything can be obsessed over.

That's something I learned in art school. I studied graphic design in Germany and my professor emphasized the responsibility that designers and illustrators have towards the people they create things for.

I don't design cars. I'm not a designer. I know what I desire to be built I know what the end result is the horsepower the competition we'll be working against - but I leave it to the people who work with me to put it all together. I don't do anything.
