I don't think there are any footsteps to be walked in. No one else has taken things that you can buy at the grocery store and put them together. I hope that I have a career as long as Julia Child.

Why I have had such a huge career and why I have sold over four million books, is that people can do what I share with them to do.

I'm an activist for gay marriage equality and children's rights. I'm the face of Share Our Strength.

I always buy the smaller turkeys. On the pre-baste put pats of butter on the meat under the skin, put the skin back on, put a bunch of seasoning on the top, call it a day, put it in the oven. With a 10 - 12 pound turkey you are done in a couple of hours.

You can't be new for too long. You want to just respectfully disappear. It's a bit sad sometimes. Michael Jordan retired like a god, and then he came back... We don't want to go out like that.

There lives more faith in honest doubt, believe me, than in half the creeds.

It is by the goodness of God that in our country we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either of them.

Everything in life belongs to God. Our purpose has already been mapped out.
