I was raised by a lady that was crippled all her life but she did everything for me and she raised me. She washed our clothes cooked our food she did everything for us. I don't think I ever heard her complain a day in her life. She taught me responsibility towards my brother and sisters and the community.

The only break I ever took was to eat. That's all I did. Work and then quickly eat something. It became my main pleasure having access to my comfort food.

I did skit comedy online for many years beginning around 2001. Around 2006 I started watching a lot of food television and got re-interested in food. I come from a very food-obsessed family. But I also wanted to do my own thing which was the comedy.

I do eat well. I try to love my body. That is what I tell my daughter. I say 'Love every bite of food. Love your body. We're all going to be dead soon.' Actually I don't say that last thing to her.

I would like to have you quote me Erich von Stroheim as having said on this day of this month of this year this one thing: you Americans are living on baby food.

The thing with food is that you can give 20 people the same recipe and the same ingredients and somebody's going to make it better than somebody else and that's the creativity of it. It's like music. You could have a bunch of people playing the same piece and somebody's gonna play it better.

My girlfriend Siri is a food blogger and we both love to entertain and eat. This is what happens when you're in your thirties: what was once a passion and real appetite for nightlife in New York City manifests itself into other things like entertaining at home.

I don't like to generalize but I've had nothing but bad experiences with Mexican food in Europe.

I like putting my money into things like food and shelter. I'm probably a bad example of an investor.

The Paris peace talks kept a roof over my head and food on the table and clothes on my back because if something was said going in or coming out I had the rent for the month.

Music can also be a sensual pleasure like eating food or sex. But its highest vibration for me is that point of taking us to a real understanding of something in our nature which we can very rarely get at. It is a spiritual state of oneness.

We're going to do everything possible to make sure that food safety is always paramount and that we work with the industry as aggressively as we can to make sure that we're paying attention to the food-safety issues.

Cleaning is my favorite way to relax. I clear things out and get rid of the stuff I don't need. When the food pantry and the refrigerator are organized I feel less stressed.

Fashion for me is anything that's aesthetic and beautiful. Art food film. It's something that I appreciate and really like.

I recycle. I have a house in the south of France and I have a small garden. My name is Dujardin - 'from the garden.' I grow carrots peppers strawberries green beans and things for salads but there are lots of wild boars all around and they steal the food.

I wait for the next opportunity to have something to do with food. If I get rested my mind just starts creating new dishes - click click click.

In '71 or '72 I returned to New Orleans and stayed there. I started cooking Louisiana food. Of all the things I had cooked it was the best-and it was my heritage.

We had no electricity no gas. Food was probably our greatest entertainment - the most fun thing that we could do was food.
