I'm a chef, so I really like knowing where my food is coming from. ”

The kids are really great at baking cupcakes, cookies, of course - that kind of stuff - but I love delegating responsibilities for dinner so you have them picking herbs, or I have plastic knives for them so they're learning sort of how to chop. It's pretty great. ”

Neil and I have always been big fans of drag, emerging theater, and anything that is really 'out there' in terms of performance. ”

I'm happy ever since stepping back to New York. ”

Room service is a hard thing to pay for. That's, like, oatmeal for $12? That makes me mad. ”

My kids are crazy eaters. They have incredible palates. ”

It's really great to get your kids involved in the kitchen. Not only will they have an appreciation for food, but their palates will expand. ”

Being back in New York is so exciting! ”

I always thought that family was the most important thing in life, and no matter what I do, whether being a chef or an actor or a dancer, being a dad is what I do best. ”

I think there's something to be said for being at home with your family and having all the things you like around you. I think my kids would say the same. ”
