My Mom, Who's Been In The Restaurant

When You're Out Grocery Shopping For Your Family, Maybe You Can Put A Can Of Cat Or Dog Food In Your Cart And Bring It To An Animal Relief Center.

You Don't Feel As Self-conscious If Your Clothes Fit.

I Was Always A Person On My Mother's Hip In The Kitchen. My Mom Really Wanted Her Kids At Her Side As Much As Possible, And She Worked In Restaurants For Over Fifty Years. And My Grandfather Had Ten Children, And He Grew And Prepared Most Of The Food. My Grandmother, On My Mother's Side, Was The Family Seamstress And The Baker. So My Mom, The Eldest Child, Was Always In The Kitchen With My Grandpa And I Was Always In The Production And Restaurant Kitchens And Our Own Kitchen With My Mom. And It's Just Something That Has Always Spoken To Me.

Television Itself Is An Intimate Medium. It's In Your House. You're Visiting With These People... Not Everybody's Going To Like It, Just Like Not Everybody Likes Everybody On The Playground. I Mean, That's Life - Especially If Your Job Is To Just Go Out There And Be Yourself.

I Have This Extraordinary Life During The Day, And Then I Get To Come Home To My Sweet Husband Who Loves To Cook With Me. I Have A Nice Glass Of Wine, He Has Some Scotch, We Chat, We Cook, And We Hang Out With The Dog. I Have An Absolute Dream Life.
