While I'm more of a soccer and tennis fan myself, I still enjoying catching some football games when I get the chance.

I feel very fortunate that I was raised in a multicultural family, and it came through food.

I happen to love coconut, particularly for that sweet and crunchy texture it adds to any dish.

Hard work IS its own reward. Integrity IS priceless. Art DOES feed the soul.

If you get hungry mid-day, a banana is the best snack at your desk, after a workout, or in between classes. Fruit is a very good snack in general.

If you're cooking for someone important - whether it's your boss or a date - never try a new recipe and a new ingredient at the same time.

Getting to a place of comfort can be uncomfortable.

Just like keeping a healthy diet is important to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, eating the right foods is just as important for getting the most out of your workout.

While I hold my own views, it's important not to get too wrapped up in individual candidates and personalities, but instead to focus on the real issues

I love Thanksgiving because it's a holiday that is centered around food and family, two things that are of utmost importance to me.

Thanksgiving is probably my favorite holiday - it's a day that's American to the core and it's a day that's all about what and how we eat.

There is no chance, no fate, no destiny that can circumvent, or hinder, or control the firm resolve of a determined soul.

Experience alone can decide on truth.

Deeper understanding confers that most precious thing - wonder.

I think that self-discipline has to be accompanied by passion.

I always dreamed that I'd be a singer. I didn't dream about being a star or anything. I just knew I wanted to sing.

And yet shall Love himself be heard,Though long deferred, though long deferred:O'er the modern waste a dove hath whirred:Music is Love in search of a word.

I regard these people who are peddling angst and peddling pessimism and all that stuff as so 'two minutes ago'.

Work hard on your style, not on your watermarks.

Despair is perfectly compatible with a good dinner, I promise you.
