The type of cuisine I do especially after being on 'Iron Chef' for several years is a lot of global cuisine. My strength has always been Mediterranean cuisine across the board from Morocco Spain Italy Greece France but I think now I'm doing a lot of very different cuisines all the time.

I was a huge theater geek growing up and that was not the easiest thing in the world especially growing up in Chicago where sports are really the norm. I was always off to the theater at night from 7 years old on. Friends there in the Midwest who could talk to you about the idiosyncrasies of 'Pippin' were few and far between.

I grew up in Baltimore. And yes I am a big sports fan especially when it comes to my local teams.

We've seen the kind of social impact a professional sports team has on a city. A team brings high-profile role models into your community who are healthy and they're great images for the city to gravitate toward especially for kids.

I hate the cliche of 'just have fun ' but what I've seen in today's sports especially with parents is they put so much pressure on the kids.

I think sometimes when it comes to sports and especially relationships between players and coaches that people lose track lose a sense of reality.

In all of our society but especially in Hollywood there is an obsession with perfection that can lead to self-loathing and neurosis and all that kind of stuff.

My father always taught me to appreciate what you're fortunate to have and give back to those who need it. No part of our society is more important than the children especially the ones who need our help.

I understand why society especially American society is gravitating toward fairy tales given our economy. We've been exploring the world of witches and wizards for years. We've been exploring the world of vampires for years. Clearly the public - I mean I feel like all of this was ushered in by 'Harry Potter' - in my own fannish beliefs.

In the past human society provided encouragement and opportunity for people to extend support to each other especially in highly stressful situations.

Our modern society - especially in the West and especially now - reveres youth.

My friends and family especially my mom and dad are always saying I should smile more.

First I want to pay tribute to Diana myself. She was an exceptional and gifted human being. In good times and bad she never lost her capacity to smile and laugh nor to inspire others with her warmth and kindness. I admired and respected her - for her energy and commitment to others and especially for her devotion to her two boys.

A third ideal that has made its way in the modern world is reliance on reason especially reason disciplined and enriched by modern science. An eternal basis of human intercommunication is reason.

I do not think we are ever going to be able to for a long time get the kind of quality of school personnel that we need in our schools especially in the areas of science and math. One of the answers to that problem is to use more educational technology.

I cannot say how strongly I object to people using other people's writing as research. Research is non-fiction especially for horror fantasy science fiction. Do not take your research from other people's fiction. Just don't.

Many of the mainstream agricultural scientists especially at the agricultural schools but at all of our major universities are tied into all sorts of contractual relationships and consulting relationships with the life science companies.

Growing up in the '70s and '80s science fiction and especially fantasy had such a stigma attached to them. I felt so punished and exiled for being devoted to these things.

People and especially theologians should try to familiarize themselves with scientific ideas. Of course science is technical in many respects but there are some very good books that try to set out some of the conceptual structure of science.

The enlightenment is under threat. So is reason. So is truth. So is science especially in the schools of America.

It's really sad for me that in the United States the Latino community is losing its culture and language especially among kids born here - a lot of them can't even speak our language.

I would be sad if it ended now. It's been the best job I've had by a long shot especially creatively because the writing is so good. Every week I get the script and I laugh out loud and get excited for the different stuff we get to do.

If you don't physically age gracefully it's a bit sad. I think Steven Tyler can get away anything because he still looks like he did in '73. Especially from row Z backwards in an arena. As long as the Stones keep their hair and don't get fat they'll get away with the wrinkles.

There are a lot of people who consider themselves 'spiritual ' but that can mean a lot of things to a lot of people. I don't really talk about it that often because there's too much talk in the world. Especially with Christians there's more proselytizing than there is actual living proof of it. That's kind of sad.
