Make food a very incidental part of your life by filling your life so full of meaningful things that you'll hardly have time to think about food.

When I got to France I realized I didn't know very much about food at all. I'd never had a real cake. I'd had those cakes from cake mixes or the ones that have a lot of baking powder in them. A really good French cake doesn't have anything like that in it - it's all egg power.

I don't think there's going to be a day when I don't think about food or my body but I'm living with it and I wish I could tell young girls to find their safe place and stay with it.

I first got involved with ending world hunger and I got hip to the facts about it - what a huge problem it was and how it wasn't a matter of not having food or not knowing how to end it but it was a matter of creating the political will.

Food tells you everything about the way people live and who they are.

I love dogs. They live in the moment and don't care about anything except affection and food. They're loyal and happy. Humans are just too damn complicated.

I remember once I read a book on mental illness and there was a nurse that had gotten sick. Do you know what she died from? From worrying about the mental patients not being able to get their food. She became a mental patient.

If I don't get food in my mouth I'm still happy. If my pants are round my ankles as long as I don't get arrested for indecent exposure I'm happy. I'm worried about keeping my hair not how it's combed.

The passion of the Italian or the Italian-American population is endless for food and lore and everything about it.

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.

Is it a coincidence that in 1998 Barack Obama talks about a majority coalition of welfare recipients and in 2012 we got a record number of Americans on food stamps while he's president? I don't think it's a coincidence.

You know if I listened to Michael Dukakis long enough I would be convinced we're in an economic downturn and people are homeless and going without food and medical attention and that we've got to do something about the unemployed.

The less food the more time to talk the more to talk about.

The only think I like better than talking about Food is eating.

An Englishman teaching an American about food is like the blind leading the one-eyed.

My philosophy from day one is that I can sleep better at night if I can improve an individual's knowledge about food and wine and do it on a daily basis.

You can tell alot about a fellow's character by his way of eating jellybeans.

You need to put what you learn into practice and do it over and over again until it's a habit. I always say 'Seeing is not believing. Doing is believing.' There is a lot to learn about fitness nutrition and emotions but once you do you can master them instead of them mastering you.

I am about to get involved with the biggest cancer hospital in Norway. They are building a fitness center to work with patients. I will be a consultant.

I was a bit worried coming back to the Premiership from America but I have been pleased with my form and the interest I have received has been good for my ego. I have no worries about my fitness and I am really looking forward to the season starting now.

I've published one book before and now I'm writing a book of essays and stories about life in Tokyo. And I have one book coming out in May in Germany about fitness.

For years I always thought it was hilarious that I was this fitness guru because fitness was just a tool I utilized to help people improve their confidence. For me it's never been about fitness. It's always been about helping to empower people.

My priority is to turn people - especially kids - on to sports and being active so they don't even have to think about it being good for their health. If people participate for the fun of it and believe me - it is fun then fitness programs will be much more successful.

My mother was a P.E. teacher and she was kind of a fanatic about fitness and nutrition growing up so it was ingrained in me at a young age. As I get older I'm finding out it's not about getting all buffed up and looking good. It's more about staying healthy and flexible.
