If I hadn't become a celebrity, I'd probably be an alcoholic.

I can't even get three weeks off to have cosmetic surgery.
Food was a constant topic of conversation in our household.
Comedy is exaggerated realism. It can be stretched to the almost ludicrous, but it must always be believable.
As far as cookbooks go, I think Joy of Cooking is a classic. I've used it over and over again. Julia Child frustrates me. By the time you get all her herbs together, you're exhausted
