Children aren't being taught to cook or encouraged to try things or told why food is important.

I couldn't live without my faithful companion, Megs the dog.

I inherited this collection of vinyl records, which at that time numbered 6,000, and I've since continued to collect music.

Westside Gunn is the architect of the Griselda sound.

I am an architect at heart. I designed every home I've ever had, plus my studio.

Before I was 20, I was the leading architect of the Southwest.

So I was shampooing at 14. But I've always thought that had I the opportunity for an education, I would have been an architect. There's no question about it.
