Even actresses that you really admire like Reese Witherspoon you think 'Another romantic comedy?' You see her in something like 'Walk the Line' and think 'God you're so great!' And then you think 'Why is she doing these stupid romantic comedies?' But of course it's for money and status.

I want to do the romantic comedies. You know the stuff that Meg Ryan and Julia Roberts or Reese Witherspoon would choose of course.

To be born in Wales not with a silver spoon in your mouth but with music in your blood and with poetry in your soul is a privilege indeed.

You wake up in the morning and you look at your old spoon and you say to yourself 'Mick it's time to get yourself a new spoon.' And you do.

Are your kids learning the right lessons about 9/11? Ten years after Osama bin Laden's henchmen murdered thousands of innocents on American soil too many children have been spoon-fed the thin gruel of progressive political correctness over the stiff antidote of truth.

I feel cheesy when I see 'Silver Spoons.' Some of it was funny but some of it was just cheese! My kids love it but I look at it and cringe.

If you can't tell a spoon from a ladle then you're fat!

My goal is to make Italian food clean and accessible and beautiful and tasty with simple ingredients that people can find at a local grocery store because people don't want to go to a gourmet shop in search of items that will sit in their pantry for years after they use just a teaspoon or pinch of them.

Sandwiches are wonderful. You don't need a spoon or a plate!

The world is full of abundance and opportunity but far too many people come to the fountain of life with a sieve instead of a tank car... a teaspoon instead of a steam shovel. They expect little and as a result they get little.

Reese Witherspoon is my everywoman. She's managed to have a family and this amazing career. That's the goal.
