When you’re traveling constantly, every day you become inspired, and it shows in my work, sonically, lyrically, visually. Conversations with women with different accents and stories told in those accents. I like to create characters based on different people I’ve met, and relationships. I like to tell stories loosely based on real-life events.

Exploration by real people inspires us.

I myself prefer my New Zealand eggs for breakfast.

I remember as a little girl going down to the beet fields in the Dakotas and in Nebraska and Wyoming as migrant workers when I was very, very small, like, I was, like, 5 years old, I believe.

Tokyo would probably be the foreign city if I had to eat one city’s food for the rest of my life, every day. It would have to be Tokyo, and I think the majority of chefs you ask that question would answer the same way.

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

Work aside, we come to New York for the possibility of interaction and inspiration.

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

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

Of all the mountain ranges I have climbed, I like the Sierra Nevada the best.

I never go anywhere. I do sketches and make phone calls, and people visit. It’s more fun to come to Paris.

I would never win an award for not loving pizza.

Paris is always a good idea.

The Indians on board said that thence to Cuba was a voyage in their canoes of a day and a half; these being small dug-outs without a sail. Such are their canoes. I departed thence for Cuba, for by the signs the Indians made of its greatness, and of its gold and pearls, I thought that it must be Cipango.

I can’t say this enough – the food that you put into your bodies can actually help you get better grades. And it can also affect your performance in sports and other activities too. You see, when you give your body the best possible fuel, you have more energy, you’re stronger, you think more quickly.

I read a lot when I’m travelling and always have a couple of books on the go.

Only the pure in heart can make a good soup.

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

Think of our physical sustenance. It is truly heaven-sent. The necessities of air, food, and water all come to us as gifts from a loving Heavenly Father.

At the age of 6, a teacher full of ambitions, who taught in the small public school of Biran, convinced my family that I should travel to Santiago de Cuba to accompany my older sister who would enter a highly prestigious convent school. Including me was a skill of that very teacher from the little school in Biran.

Every time I come to Europe, I’m just as excited as I was my very first time, which was many, many years ago. I love that part of the world, and I especially love the fans.

Adventures are to the adventurous.

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.

Why can’t I just eat my waffle?
