I like to think of myself as the host at a party, and, if everybody is having a good time, so much the better.

Somewhere in the back of their minds, hosts and guests alike know that the dinner party is a source of untold irritation, and that even the dullest evening spent watching television is preferable.

Every show I play, whether it's for an audience of 15,000 or 50, I look at it as a party, and I'm the host.

I just don't get invited to the same dinner parties I used to like to go to.

We see our customers as invited guests to a party, and we are the hosts. It's our job every day to make every important aspect of the customer experience a little bit better.

I like when guests come over early and we chop veggies and talk and play music.

I'm a really good dinner party guest. I am always so appreciative, impressed that anyone has even managed to turn on the oven and cook for me.

Of course, it does depend on the people, but sometimes I'm invited places to kind of brighten up a dinner table like a musician who'll play the piano after dinner, and I know you're not really invited for yourself. You're just an ornament.

I consider a good dinner party at our house to be where people drink and eat more than they're meant to. My husband is a really fantastic cook. His mother is Italian and if you walk into our house, we assume you're starving.

To my great surprise and pleasure, I have had dinner with most of the people living with whom I would like to have dinner.
