• "Sometimes I feel like I'm not only the engine but the caboose. I have to be in the front car and pull forward, and at the same time run around behind and push everybody along with me.“
• "I'm an activist for gay marriage equality and children's rights. I'm the face of Share Our Strength.“
• "Nobody makes bouillabaisse from scratch. It's all a bunch of malarkey. Even the restaurants buy a commercial-grade product. I had a very famous chef tell me that.“
• "Baking cookies is comforting, and cookies are the sweetest little bit of comfort food. They are very bite-sized and personal.“
• "Christmas is more stressful with present buying and making sure everyone gets included, but Thanksgiving is really not that. I don't ever really get stressed out about the food.“
• "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.“
• "I'm not sure that some of the food purists are in touch with what really goes on in American households.“
• "It's really easy to figure out why I love what I love, the holidays and food. I know the difference between having them and not having them.“
• "I'm the only girl on The Food Network who grills - I have two bestselling grilling books. I try to really focus on what men and women can do outside together out on the grill. I think it's really fun to have men and women out there together, having fun, working and enjoying themselves.“
• "I like doing food as a focal point on my table. It is not like going out and buying flowers or candles, which are expensive.“
• "I like being independent. I don't think that marriage means you're not independent, but right now I'm very comfortable, and I'm probably the happiest I've ever been. I feel solid. I feel safe.“
• "I'm an activist for gay marriage equality and children's rights. I'm the face of Share Our Strength.“
