I myself prefer my New Zealand eggs for breakfast.

I personally don’t like to go see romantic comedies. But people do want to see them, and they seem to want to see me in them.

When I’m back in New York – and this is a terrible thing to complain about – I eat a lot more really, really good food than perhaps I’d like to. So many of my friends are really good chefs. It’s kind of like being in the Mafia.

I’m a really particular person. I want it my way.

All styles are good except the tiresome kind.

I went to a restaurant that serves ‚breakfast at any time‘. So I ordered French Toast during the Renaissance.

My absolute favorite meal in Nashville is sweet-potato pancakes at Pancake Pantry.

I have no desire to crow over anybody or to see anybody eating crow, figuratively or otherwise. We should all get together and make a country in which everybody can eat turkey whenever he pleases.

I’m certainly well taken care of in terms of food and clothes.

It took me years to eat a lot of shellfish. I was probably 20 years old before I had even seen a shrimp cocktail. I like oysters, but fried.

I was mischievous. I wasn’t bad. I stole food so we could eat. My mother didn’t know. I used to tell her some man gave me $10 to sweep out the yard. I was like Robin Hood. I took from the rich and gave to the poor. Me.

Part of the secret of a success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside.

Man seems to be the only animal whose food soils him, making necessary much washing and shield-like bibs and napkins. Moles living in the earth and eating slimy worms are yet as clean as seals or fishes, whose lives are one perpetual wash.

Sometimes, it’s just easier to say yes to that extra snack or dessert, because frankly, it is exhausting to keep saying no. It’s exhausting to plead with our kids to eat just one more bite of vegetables.

I never drink anything hot; I don’t like hot drinks, very strange.

You just feel a little odd when you don’t get your kind of food. Fortunately, there are Indian restaurants all over the world.

Big stuff and little: learning how to order breakfast in a country where I don’t speak the language and haven’t been before – that’s really satisfying to me. I like that.

Let’s face it, a nice creamy chocolate cake does a lot for a lot of people; it does for me.

I’ve lived in good climate, and it bores the hell out of me. I like weather rather than climate.

I don’t like perfumes that are too strong or sweet. I like a fragrance that is earthy and sensual and can be worn at any time.

Writing’s just as natural to me as getting up and cooking breakfast.

A bachelor’s life is a fine breakfast, a flat lunch, and a miserable dinner.

Cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.

I want my food dead. Not sick, not dying, dead.

Eating words has never given me indigestion.

A house is not a home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body.

I hid myself in food.

No, I can’t do rap music!

I love the masochistic aspect of eating seething, real Sichuan food in Sichuan Province.

I can hardly eat meat because it has to look like something what it was not when it was alive.

I like some animals more than some people, some people more than some animals.

What nicer thing can you do for somebody than make them breakfast?

I’ve never eaten a strawberry in my life. I have no desire to do that.

I did this book ‚Harvest for Hope,‘ and I learned so much about food. And one thing I learned is that we have the guts not of a carnivore, but of an herbivore. Herbivore guts are very long because they have to get the last bit of nutrition out of leaves and things.

Hope is a good breakfast, but it is a bad supper.

I’ve lived in a big showplace house, and I never want to live again in a house that overshadows me.

First thing I do in the morning, after I have my breakfast and do my spiritual work, is put on my makeup and fix my hair, and I can do my makeup in 15 minutes.

Facts are to the mind what food is to the body.

My father opened a restaurant. It’s so amazing… it’s so freaking delicious, but I’m telling you I gain five pounds every time I go in there.

I’m not a sandwich store that only sells turkey sandwiches. I sell a lot of different things.

I like definitive things.

Tell me what you like and I’ll tell you what you are.

The vulgar boil, the learned roast, an egg.

Why does man kill? He kills for food. And not only food: frequently there must be a beverage.

I never eat salad. I make sure I don’t put a lot of junk into my system, but I hate vegetables!

Regardless of what our national credit rating is, people will always want a roof over their heads, food on their tables, fuel for their cars, and clothes on their backs.

Context and memory play powerful roles in all the truly great meals in one’s life.

And what, Socrates, is the food of the soul? Surely, I said, knowledge is the food of the soul.

But, you know, it’s still a drag to get your picture taken when you’re eating a sandwich. It’s a downer.

Why not invest your assets in the companies you really like? As Mae West said, ‚Too much of a good thing can be wonderful‘.

You’d have a hard time finding anything better than Barcelona for food, as far as being a hub. Given a choice between Barcelona and San Sebastian to die in, I’d probably want to die in San Sebastian.

If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

There’s no difference between movies and television. None at all. Except in a lot of cases, television’s much better than movies.

I’m evangelical on the subject of some chefs and writers.

Some people wanted champagne and caviar when they should have had beer and hot dogs.

I eat steak primarily. That’s pretty much what my diet consists of. Sometimes I supplement that with other steaks.

Gentleness doesn’t get work done unless you happen to be a hen laying eggs.

Ice-cream is exquisite – what a pity it isn’t illegal.

My dinners at home are startlingly simple. Every night, I stop at the market near my hotel and pick up a steak, lamb chops or some liver, which I broil in the electric oven in my room. I usually eat four or five raw carrots with my meat, and that is all. I must be part rabbit; I never get bored with raw carrots.

There is no sincerer love than the love of food.

I think Weetabix and full-fat milk is what it is all about.
