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 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.

I remember that at the beginning of the month the kind of menus my mom and father would prepare for us would have fish chicken. But at the end of the month - because my father would be waiting for paycheck - the refrigerator would get empty. I remember that without a lot of food left some of the best meals happened right there.

When I came to the Food Network I didn't want to do a cooking show. I told Kathleen Finch for nine months I didn't want to do a cooking show I wanted to do a home-and-garden show.

The wonderful thing about Food for Thought is that it lets you keep your hand in theater and be in front of a live audience without a commitment of six months or even three months.

I don't enjoy good food. I don't enjoy flashy cars. I don't care if I live in a dump. I don't enjoy good clothes. This is the best I've dressed in months.

There's not one food that causes diabetes.What causes Type II diabetes is being overweight... I've just come to grips over the past four or five months with my diabetes.

I have run two Olympic 'A' standard times over the past 12 months and with the time I ran at the African Championships last week I know my speed and fitness are constantly improving so that I will peak in time for the Olympics.

I thought I did well for someone who has been out for 10 or 11 months. Then I was sub against Liverpool and tried to play for the guys and work on my fitness.

Americans are terrified because so many of them have been laid off in recent years and months and they fear that they may be next. Even if they have not been laid off or have not known anyone laid off they definitely know someone who has lost his home.

Thank God I arrived the day before yesterday the first of the month at this port of San Diego truly a fine one and not without reason called famous.

I've been accustomed to being famous and having a certain level of attention for 14 years but in the last few months it's changed. It's like on the arcade game I've gone up to the next level.

Anytime you cast a movie and you need someone famous in the lead part you're a prisoner of whoever happens to be famous in the six-month window in which you're trying to get a film financed.

I work six months and get three or four with the family. I've stopped racing to get to the red light.

I work six months and get three or four with the family.

I only tour in short bursts I'm only ever away from my family and three daughters for a month or two.

I spent four months in Prague in these blue rooms reacting to nothing and you basically place your faith in the hands of the director and the special effects co-coordinator and you keep your fingers crossed and hope that the creatures look really scary.

We have actually experienced in recent months a dramatic demonstration of an unprecedented intelligence failure perhaps the most significant intelligence failure in the history of the United States.

I met Ashley two weeks before I married him. It was a joke-the most ridiculous thing I've ever done. Once I was married I didn't want to be a failure so I stuck it out for six months which was about six months too long.

My only failure was the restaurant in Myrtle Beach. I kept it open for four years. It was in a tourist town it was only busy four and half five months of the year. But the bills kept coming all year.

The failure of the system to deal quickly was attributable to Nixon's lying stonewalling and refusal to come clean. So it took 26 months for the final truth to be known.

At an incredibly divisive point in pop history Donna Summer managed to create an undeniable across-the-board experience of mass pleasure - after 'Bad Girls ' nobody ever tried claiming disco sucked again. It set the template for what Michael Jackson would do a few months later with 'Off The Wall.'

Our subjective experience of time is highly variable. We all know that days can pass like weeks and months can feel like years and that the opposite can be just as true: A month or year can zoom by in what feels like no time at all.

What if Barack Obama established a Presidential Advisory Committee that would meet once every couple of months bringing together the former presidents for a conference in order to seek their collective wisdom? There is a wealth of experience in former presidents that generally goes untapped.
