“Oh, I'd say I like a meal as much as anybody. But I find a certain kin...” — Jonathan Safran Foer Quote

“Oh, I'd say I like a meal as much as anybody. But I find a certain kind of foodiness silly, gluttonous and embarrassing.”

“There's never been a culture that wasn't obsessed with food. The sort of sad thing is that our obsession is no longer with food, but with the price of food.”

“I often think about how my sons will come to know about September 11th. Something overheard? A newspaper image? In school? I would prefer that they learn about it from my wife and me, in a deliberate and safe way. But it's hard to imagine ever feeling ready to broach the subject without some impetus.”

“There's nobody in the arts in my family. It was kind of embarrassing to even say that I wanted to be an actor.”

“What you fear is embarrassing yourself. Anyone who says they don't fear that is lying.”

“I always entertain the notion that I'm wrong, or that I'll have to revise my opinion. Most of the time that feels good; sometimes it really hurts and is embarrassing.”
