Quotes“I think one of my gifts is that I'm really curious. I don't want to know things necessarily. I want to experience. I want to understand. And I deeply, deeply want to listen. I think [listening] it's an art, and that it's a lost art. People don't listen. I notice often that people are thinking about their responses while they're listening.”
“Curries and Italian food...just have such a deep sensual sensation in the nose. And then, before you even eat them, your mouth is watering. You know how lucky you are, and how great you are, to be able to have it. And then it just kind of slides down, fills you, warms you, greets you, and makes you feel happy and blissful. That's how much I love food.”
