I love dessert. I can't be guilty about it because I have to taste everything. I experiment.

All the things I love is what my business is all about.

I am a hero worshiper. I love the number one tennis player. I love the number one baseball player. I want to see those records broken.

I support Alice Waters in her desire that there be a vegetable garden at the White House. I don't think they should rip up the Rose Garden, because that's something that I love. They should probably dig up another patch and grow some vegetables there.

I was a very curious person because of my parents. They encouraged me to be as curious about as many things as I wanted.

I adore summer entertaining. For a dinner party at the farm, I might prepare homemade fettuccine with porcini mushrooms, soft-shell crabs, spinach from the garden, and lemon tarts with fraises des bois for dessert.
