My dad was an alcoholic, growing up, so I knew how scary that was from a child's perspective - the volatility.

I feel like I'm getting the best parts of my career in my 50s.

I've crafted a really weird career for myself.

I don't think I would have had much of a career if I didn't have my son.

I probably use my chef's knives more than any other tool in the kitchen. I'm not married to a particular brand, because they all work, they all have sharp blades.

I love bringing people together. I think that the environment is so important in terms of what kind of relationships you might be able to create, how people get to know each other.

One of the things that I do that I've found from being newly married is that my husband and I, we go in the bathroom and brush our teeth together. And that's when we talk about what's going on in the day, so we get to bond that way.

Civil marriage, like all civil rights provided by the government, must be provided equally to all Americans.
