I'm evangelical.

Although they are unfailingly gracious, evangelicals are not so good at respecting professional boundaries.

First of all, I can't really claim to be a great chef.

An evangelical is somebody who, first of all, has a very high view of Scripture, believes it's an infallible message from God.

I embrace the term 'evangelical,' if by that we mean a belief that we together can actually work for change in the world, caring for the environment, extending to the poor generosity and kindness, a hopeful outlook. That's a beautiful sort of thing.

Evangelical Christians and I can sit down and talk one on one about how much we love Jesus, and yet I'm not carried in Christian bookstores.

I'm grateful for the evangelical resurgence we've seen across the world in the last half-century or so. It truly has been God's doing.

I was quite a successful evangelist. I've had people write to me and say, 'Gee, I'm a Christian because of you and I hear you're not a Christian, that's shocking to me.' I don't take these things lightly, but that's who I am. I can't change it.

Chefs are nutters. They're all self-obsessed, delicate, dainty, insecure little souls and absolute psychopaths. Every last one of them.
