Onion rings in the car cushions do not improve with time.

Housework, if you do it right, will kill you.

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

After a hard day of basic training, you could eat a rattlesnake.

Green Eggs and Ham was the story of my life. I wouldn’t eat a thing when I was a kid, but Dr. Seuss inspired me to try cauliflower!

Eating is so intimate. It’s very sensual. When you invite someone to sit at your table and you want to cook for them, you’re inviting a person into your life.

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 would say there are some foods that I strongly recommend that you do not eat. No. 1 on that list, I believe, is doughnuts. Comfort food. Zero value. Don’t eat them.

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.

I’m a fry lover.

Papa, potatoes, poultry, prunes and prism, are all very good words for the lips.

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

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

I’m the slowest driver in the world.

I look at myself like a show dog. I’ve got to keep her clipped and trimmed and in good shape.

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

Things in themselves have no life in them. A car can’t comfort or encourage you. A house means nothing if there’s no life and love inside.

Acorns were good until bread was found.

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.

So long as you have food in your mouth, you have solved all questions for the time being.

Hong Kong is a wonderful, mixed-up town where you’ve got great food and adventure. First and foremost, it’s a great place to experience China in a relatively accessible way.

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

Dusting is a good example of the futility of trying to put things right. As soon as you dust, the fact of your next dusting has already been established.

If McLaren give me a car, that’s fine, but I don’t tend to buy fancy stuff anyway or super-nice clothes.

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

Dinner was made for eating, not for talking.

I love that Cadillac ATS!

‚Kitchen Confidential‘ wasn’t a cautionary or an expose. I wrote it as an entertainment for New York tri-state area line cooks and restaurant lifers, basically; I had no expectation that it would move as far west as Philadelphia.

We have food all around us all the time, and if we haven’t eaten for three hours, we think we’re starving. You’re not starving – human beings can go for 30 days without food.

You can always tell an old soldier by the inside of his holsters and cartridge boxes. The young ones carry pistols and cartridges; the old ones, grub.

I hid myself in food.

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

I’ll bring my grits when I travel, because I get so hungry on the road.

The food here is terrible, and the portions are too small.

My weaknesses have always been food and men – in that order.

We never repent of having eaten too little.

I do not like broccoli. And I haven’t liked it since I was a little kid and my mother made me eat it. And I’m President of the United States and I’m not going to eat any more broccoli.

Meals make the society, hold the fabric together in lots of ways that were charming and interesting and intoxicating to me. The perfect meal, or the best meals, occur in a context that frequently has very little to do with the food itself.

In general, mankind, since the improvement of cookery, eats twice as much as nature requires.

I love to clean.

Nobody in Singapore drinks Singapore Slings. It’s one of the first things you find out there. What you do in Singapore is eat. It’s a really food-crazy culture, where all of this great food is available in a kind of hawker-stand environment.

My favourite car I drove in the ‚shoot out‘ at Silverstone was the 2016 Mercedes DTM car. I loved every moment in it, the downforce being particularly surprising.

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

Food is everything we are. It’s an extension of nationalist feeling, ethnic feeling, your personal history, your province, your region, your tribe, your grandma. It’s inseparable from those from the get-go.

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.

I, personally, think there is a really danger of taking food too seriously. Food should be part of the bigger picture.

If we do not maintain justice, justice will not maintain us.

I try to very hard to avoid a situation where I would be eating cat or dog; I’ve managed to gracefully avoid that. It’s hypocritical of me and an arbitrary line, but one that I have managed to avoid crossing.

Eating words has never given me indigestion.

A man seldom thinks with more earnestness of anything than he does of his dinner.

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’m very type-A, and many things in my life are about control and domination, but eating should be a submissive experience, where you let down your guard and enjoy the ride.

I don’t like to feel like I’m in a club when I’m in my car and I turn on the radio. Anything that ceases to be a song and just sounds like house music kind of stresses me out.

Those places I don’t understand, just doing bad food. It takes some doing. Making good pasta is so much easier than making bad stuff. It actually takes quite an effort to make poor linguine pomodora.

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

The Kobe craze really annoyed me. Most of the practitioners had no real understanding of the product and were abusing it and exploiting it in terrible and ridiculous ways. Kobe beef should not be used in a hamburger. It’s completely pointless.

In New York I pretty much live in diners – I order French Fries, Diet Coke floats and lots of coffee.

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

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

I play the harmonica. The only way I can play is if I get my car going really fast, and stick it out the window.

The equal right of all citizens to health, education, work, food, security, culture, science, and wellbeing – that is, the same rights we proclaimed when we began our struggle, in addition to those which emerge from our dreams of justice and equality for all inhabitants of our world – is what I wish for all.
