lorelei42FOOD & COOKING
"I was 32 when I started cooking; up until then, I just ate."
"I enjoy cooking with wine, sometimes I even put it in the food..."
"Always remember: If you're alone in the kitchen and you drop the lamb, you can always just pick it up. Who's going to know?"
"I found cooking fascinating because it tested art and science. First you master the science, later comes the art."
"I think careful cooking is love, don't you? The loveliest thing you can cook for someone who's close to you is about as nice a Valentine as you can give."
LIFE
"Every woman should have a blowtorch."
"If you’re in a good profession, it’s hard to get bored, because you’re never finished—there will always be work you haven’t yet done."
"The only real stumbling block is fear of failure. In cooking you've got to have a what-the-hell attitude."
"The main thing is to have a gutsy approach and use your head."
"The measure of achievement is not winning awards. It’s doing something that you appreciate, something you believe is worthwhile. I think of my strawberry soufflé. I did that at least twenty-eight times before I finally conquered it."
"Find something you’re passionate about and keep tremendously interested in it."
"Everything in moderation … including moderation."
"Drama is very important in life: You have to come on with a bang. You never want to go out with a whimper. Everything can have drama if it’s done right. Even a pancake."
HERSELF
"I was a Republican until I got to New York and had to live on $18 a week. It was then that I became a Democrat."
"Pro-choice is the only way to be-- because women are human beings, after all, and should be treated as such."
"My height (6 feet 2 inches) made me uncomfortable when I was a kid because I was different. But I got used to it."
"Being tall is an advantage, especially in business. People will always remember you. And if you’re in a crowd, you’ll always have some clean air to breathe."
"I have no fear of dying. It's something that happens."
"I don’t think about whether people will remember me or not. I’ve been an okay person. I’ve learned a lot. I’ve taught people a thing or two. That’s what’s important. Sooner or later the public will forget you, the memory of you will fade. What’s important is the individuals you’ve influenced along the way."
