Growing up, we always had a big garden, and it just gave me the passion and appreciation for really good food.

After two undefeated seasons of 'Worst Cooks in America,' I'm ready for a third. Going against Bobby Flay takes the challenge to another level, but I'm ready to whip these contestants into shape and the winner is sure to be from Team Burrell.

You don't go into being a chef for the money.

Part of being successful is about asking questions and listening to the answers.

Usually, when you get early versions of scripts, they are not very good. I found 'Borgen' amazing from the very first read-through because of how fast-paced and gripping it was. It felt more international because of the way it didn't dwell on the characters' personal lives as many Danish shows used to, but still, nobody thought it would travel.

Travel is the frivolous part of serious lives, and the serious part of frivolous ones.

My life is ready, fire, aim, and it is one of adventure.

I do get to meet a lot of people, and I do get to travel quite a bit. You may laugh, but it's a tough job.
