I dream about food.

I make a dog-friendly version of almost everything that we make for dinner.

What I really, really want to do is pre-packaged meals. Fabulous versions that are delicious, healthy, not too expensive and very low in fat. So, that's my big dream, because there's a massive hole in the market for that.

I saw 'Food, Inc.' last night - it was like a horror movie. I'm definitely thinking about my food supply now and how I want to grow my own.

I got a fascination with food.

When I came to the Food Network, I didn't want to do a cooking show. I told Kathleen Finch for nine months I didn't want to do a cooking show, I wanted to do a home-and-garden show.

If I'm out of town and I'm in a situation where I have to be creative, it has to be hot dogs because that's my comfort food.

I had this idea that I would write a companion cookbook to 'Barbara the Slut.' The recipes would be like, 'Put the Lucky Charms in the bowl.'

As a child I was sometimes so hungry that I used to dream that one day I'd get locked in a grocery store.

The most remarkable thing about my mother is that for thirty years she served the family nothing but leftovers. The original meal has never been found.
