“Cooking has always sort of been my way to soothe the soul, if you will...” — Gina Neely Quote

“Cooking has always sort of been my way to soothe the soul, if you will. I grew up around my great-great-grandmother cooking, and that's eventually where I learned a lot of things. So food has always been used to ease and comfort.”

“Skillet corn bread has always been my go-to-comfort food, and my mom used to make it for me as a treat when I was younger. I do this for my girls now whenever I think they need a little love.”

“I want to get married again. I love being married. I'm not against marriage, and I'm not against love.”

“I'm a pasta girl, and I like dishes that are easy, one-pot dishes that are really quick.”

“Life happens, honey. What are you going to do? Cry in a bowl of milk?”

“You cannot be in your 50s and not change your diet. That ministry won't work. You can't keep eating burgers and fries and thinking you're going to look cute and fabulous and trying to squeeze into that little black dress.”

“I love to cook comfort food. I'll make fish and vegetables or meat and vegetables and potatoes or rice. The ritual of it is fun for me, and the creativity of it.”

“But take comfort in that I die at peace with the world and myself - not afraid.”

“I didn't think I would be prime minister, because I didn't consider it. But that's the power of saying yes, because there will be a moment when someone asks you to do something beyond your comfort zone. I am not unique.”

“I think anyone taken out of their comfort zone and put somewhere else will change.”

“I don't get the jitters and I don't get nervous, because I build that comfort on set for myself. Sometimes if I'm gonna do something really crazy, it helps me to yell or look like an idiot on set, so that when I'm about to do a scene, I've already embarrassed myself. I find ways to work around getting the jitters.”

“It's when you begin to think about going to your dream that your dream is always outside of your comfort zone. It's always beyond what you've ever done.”
