“I like the creativity of planning a party, or cooking and taking care of people, creating a memorable meal or event.”

“It means so much being a part of country music and the Opry.”

“I believe everything in moderation. But breakfast is important. I have two hard-boiled or scrambled eggs with whole-wheat toast and try to get some fruit in there.”

“It's not a party unless I'm cooking. Some people find entertaining stressful, but it is therapeutic for me; I find it relaxing.”

“Fifteen years ago, France was the promised land of cooking. So I looked at a map, found five restaurants and faxed them to ask for a job. Within five minutes, I got a reply from the then three- star Le Jardin des Sens in Montpellier.”

“With cooking, there's always the tangible and the intangible: that which is in the domain of sentiment, of the individual.”
