Freedom is always the freedom of dissenters.

That's free enterprise friends: freedom to gamble freedom to lose. And the great thing - the truly democratic thing about it - is that you don't even have to be a player to lose.

Only free men can negotiate prisoners cannot enter into contracts. Your freedom and mine cannot be separated.

While it is true that we must seek value added industries like food processing plants and call center operations we must do what is necessary to expand and develop our economic profile.

I grew up in a food-obsessed Italian family so food was always front and center in my life. I was a food obsessed person who morphed into a comedian and tried to figure out a way to make fun of my cake and eat it too.

My girlfriend Siri is a food blogger and we both love to entertain and eat. This is what happens when you're in your thirties: what was once a passion and real appetite for nightlife in New York City manifests itself into other things like entertaining at home.

We had no electricity no gas. Food was probably our greatest entertainment - the most fun thing that we could do was food.

Like baseball food will never go out of style we will always need to eat and we will always find it entertaining. I think of food TV this way - all the fun and none of the calories.

I travel around and hear from so many kids. Their parents say they were always very picky but they watch the show and they want to try stuff. The show is entertainment but I think it has done so much for the public perception of what food can be.

The average housewife goes to the restaurant to relax and enjoy the food. But when Eva walks in she becomes the center of attention.

When you're out grocery shopping for your family maybe you can put a can of cat or dog food in your cart and bring it to an animal relief center.

I think a lot of food shows especially when we started 'Good Eats' back in the late '90s they were still really about food. 'Good Eats' isn't about food it's about entertainment. If however we can virally infect you with knowledge or interest then all the better.

I kept thinking 'Somebody has to make a food show that is actually educational and entertaining at the same time... a show that got down to the 'why things happen.' Plus I hated my job - I didn't think it was very worthwhile.

It was the Law of the Sea they said. Civilization ends at the waterline. Beyond that we all enter the food chain and not always right at the top.

Not necessity not desire - no the love of power is the demon of men. Let them have everything - health food a place to live entertainment - they are and remain unhappy and low-spirited: for the demon waits and waits and will be satisfied.

The food that enters the mind must be watched as closely as the food that enters the body.

I always say centered food equals centered behavior.

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.

Fitness is a curve. You can be Lance Armstrong or you can be really out of shape at the opposite end. People enter the curve wherever they are and then they can move up the curve by better nutrition and better exercise.

I'm doing four hours of gymnastics training a day six days a week and then an extra two to three hours in a fitness center as well.

You want to put out a TV show? If you have the money to do it on your own by yourself and you have a TV network you can do it by yourself. But the nature of the beast is art needs finance. That's how this industry works. So until the Internet becomes our source of entertainment - and watch it I believe it will - this is how things go.

We had a booming stock market in 1929 and then went into the world's greatest depression. We have a booming stock market in 1999. Will the bubble somehow burst and then we enter depression? Well some things are not different.

We must have our say not through violence aggression or fear. We must speak out calmly and forcefully. We shall only be able to enter the new world era if we agree to engage in dialogue with the other side.

I could write an entertaining novel about rejection slips but I fear it would be overly long.
