Parents shouldn't assume children are made out of sugar candy and will break and collapse instantly.

I don't encourage kids to eat sugar, but I do it.

I think people always want candy, whether you're a kid or an adult.

The thing with children is they're a bit like baking a fruitcake: you throw all the ingredients in but you never know how they're going to turn out.

My kids know there's no candy, no soda, until the weekend. Those are the days they get to indulge in their sweets. We're big on organic food. I'm not a diet guy; I don't believe in diets. I just believe in a great meal plan.

The great thing about candy is that it can't be spoiled by the adult world. Candy is innocent. And all Halloween candy pales next to candy corn, if only because candy corn used to appear, like the Great Pumpkin, solely on Halloween.

Kids will eat anything, won't they?

On Halloween, kids get to assume, for one night the outward forms of their innermost dread, and they're also allowed to take candy from strangers - the scariest thing of all.

Kids are so shrewd.

Candy is childhood, the best and bright moments you wish could have lasted forever.
