Lettuce is like conversation; it must be fresh and crisp, so sparkling that you scarcely notice the bitter in it.

You don't want to make a steady diet of just lettuce. You don't want to make a steady diet of fried chicken.

Salad can get a bad rap. People think of bland and watery iceberg lettuce, but in fact, salads are an art form, from the simplest rendition to a colorful kitchen-sink approach.

I'm a human garbage can, but I don't like veggies unless they have Velveeta cheese on top. And forget crunchy broccoli and carrots. I like 'em soggy, soft and wilted. The nutrients have probably gone away, but that's the only way I can eat them.

The more people get advised to eat vegetables, the less it seems they wish to eat them. And it is quite a natural response. So I've said that the main way that we get to like food is through being exposed to them, but there's a second condition. We have to be exposed to them without feeling any sense of coercion.

I love to eat everything and you pretty much can - a little piece of something fattening is not going to kill you. It's when you eat the whole box that it's going to kill you.

More die in the United States of too much food than of too little.

If it's great stuff, the people who consume it are nourished. It's a positive force.

My eating habits were so bad for many years that I didn't actually know the intricacies of making a salad.
