I love food all types of food. I love Korean food Japanese Italian French. In Australia we don't have a distinctive Australian food so we have food from everywhere all around the world. We're very multicultural so we grew up with lots of different types of food.

A city is a place where there is no need to wait for next week to get the answer to a question to taste the food of any country to find new voices to listen to and familiar ones to listen to again.

Owners of dogs will have noticed that if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection they will think you are God. Whereas owners of cats are compelled to realize that if you provide them with food and water and affection they draw the conclusion that they are God.

There is no way that writers can be tamed and rendered civilized or even cured. The only solution known to science is to provide the patient with an isolation room where he can endure the acute stages in private and where food can be poked in to him with a stick.

More than any other in Western Europe Britain remains a country where a traveler has to think twice before indulging in the ordinary food of ordinary people.

I said to my friends that if I was going to starve I might as well starve where the food is good.

For a good workout I go to At One Fitness in North Hollywood where my trainer Jon Allsop puts me through it all. I like it because it's a small gym and I've known the people for a long time. Jon will have me do cross-training where I'll lift weights jump rope throw around a medicine ball and I never get to stop.

A drunkard in the gutter is just where he ought to be according to the fitness and tendency of things. Nature has set upon him the process of decline and dissolution by which she removes things which have survived their usefulness.

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 not in the best shape but I want to prove to myself I can do something that seems insurmountable and inspire others by showing them no matter where they are in their fitness goals they can do it too.

It's not about weight it's about fitness and one component of being fit is to have relatively low body fat because fat is not very efficient whereas muscle is.

Your body is the church where Nature asks to be reverenced.

I don't plan on going back to legal work. I wanted an international career and finance seemed to be where some interesting career opportunities were.

If you want to fight the evil you see in finance and industry get to work reading the corporate filings see if there has been fraud and where you find it report it to the SEC or write about it or blog about it.

I've always supported myself. I like the sense of knowing exactly where I stand financially but there is a side of me that longs for a knight in shining armor.

It is bad policy to regulate everything... where things may better regulate themselves and can be better promoted by private exertions but it is no less bad policy to let those things alone which can only be promoted by interfering social power.

The problem of how we finance the welfare state should not obscure a separate issue: if each person thinks he has an inalienable right to welfare no matter what happens to the world that's not equity it's just creating a society where you can't ask anything of people.

There's no love more intense than the love we have for our kids - and where there is intense love there is also intense fear lurking beneath the surface.

People may believe that there can be a society where dissent is not permitted but which is nonetheless not a fear society because everyone agrees with one another and therefore no one wants to dissent.

There is no city or country in the world where women and girls live free of the fear of violence. No leader can claim: 'this is not happening in my backyard.'

Fools rush in where incumbents fear to tread.

Writers rush in where publishers fear to tread and where translators fear to tread.

With their souls of patent leather they come down the road. Hunched and nocturnal where they breathe they impose silence of dark rubber and fear of fine sand.

You know I never used to be a bad flyer but I did start to have a fear of flying after I shot a movie where I was terrorized on a plane. I made Wes Craven's 'Red Eye'. I don't think they're linked but it does make me pause and wonder if they are so perhaps I will explore that in therapy some day.
