There are so many great things about this business. Almost everybody is on the same team. It is all for one-friendly competitiveness. No one is out to hurt anyone.

I love the culture of grilling. It creates an atmosphere that is festive but casual.

Go vegetable heavy. Reverse the psychology of your plate by making meat the side dish and vegetables the main course.

A grill is just a source of heat. Just like a stove, it is very user-friendly.

Cooking is a subject you can never know enough about. There is always something new to discover.

I'd love to visit Thailand just for the street food and the energy of a city like Bangkok.

I love using gas grills because they are easier to heat and it's much easier to control the flames with a gas grill than with a charcoal fire. Grilling is not just about lighting a fire.

Take risks and you'll get the payoffs. Learn from your mistakes until you succeed.

Grilling takes the formality out of entertaining. Everyone wants to get involved.

I can't be on the cheeseburger diet all the time.

Some sinister secret lat buried in the heart of the graveyard !

Change is inevitable. And in a way, change is a sort of magic. However, not everyone believes in something as frugal as the unexplained.

I appreciate your applause, but I don't do it for applause. I do it for cash, it's much better.

Very often the effort men put into activities that seem completely useless turns out to be extremely important in ways no one could foresee. Play has always been the mainspring of culture.

I would rather believe something and suffer for it, than to slide along into success without opinions.

If I have any advantage, maybe, as a writer, it is that I don't think I'm very interesting. I mean, beginning a novel with the last sentence is a pretty plodding way to spend your life.

Life, the raw material, is only lived in potentia until the artist deploys it in his work.

It is the function of speech to free men from the bondage of irrational fears.

If you love a man, immediately you will reduce your intake of food - it's automatic.

How could you forget someone you loved even if I did rip his heart to shreds?
