Paul Prudhomme

I don't think life is to be taken too seriously. Take it too seriously, and it'll getcha.

We had no electricity, no gas. Food was probably our greatest entertainment - the most fun thing that we could do was food.

Have fun. Do something nobody else had done before, or has done since.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

Just as young people absorb all kinds of messages from the media, young girls learn what it means to be a woman by watching the older women in their lives.

I don't like to get in front of people.
