I would say that I'm blessed with a very, very good executive team that operates, reasonably autonomously, each of the companies.
I tend to mean what I say: in life, generally; in recipes, certainly.
I had these recipes that say do this, do that. Who MAKES these rules?
Productivity gains are vital to long-term growth because they typically translate into higher incomes, in turn boosting demand. That process takes time, of course - especially if, say, the initial recipients of increased income already have a high savings rate.
The Christians tried to separate themselves from the Jewish crowd so they wouldn't be the recipients of the persecution of the Romans. And the way they did it was to say, the Jews killed our hero too. And so Christians began to define themselves over against the orthodox party of the Jews as a way of surviving against the Roman onslaught.
They say that God is everywhere, and yet we always think of Him as somewhat of a recluse.
I would have to say that my very first encounter with the arts was when my mother bought me my first record player when I was six years old as well as a Karen Carpenter record.

I would love a recurring role on '90210.' I would say yes to just about any role in acting that doesn't tarnish my image.
I became a Yankees fan for a few years. But now, I gotta say, I'm really rooting for the Red Sox.
It would be fun to be a redhead... you can get away with being, like, really volatile and fire-y because you're like, 'I'm just a redhead; what can I say?'
'Think simple' as my old master used to say - meaning reduce the whole of its parts into the simplest terms, getting back to first principles.
Redwood rainforest has five to 10 times the biomass - that's the sheer weight of living material - of, say, deep tropical rainforest in the Amazon basin.
People often say that stress is a motivator. What we're referring to when we say this is really better described as stimulation and engagement.
I always say my Christianity and my virginity don't limit options. I think that they refine my options.
When people tell me I can't do something, I have a visceral reflex to say, 'Yes, I can.'
I am not sure I can make clear what it means to say I come from the Catholic side of Protestantism, but at the very least, it means that I do not think Christianity began with the Reformation.
The refugee crisis is a challenge for the whole of Europe, and Europe - it's a very fair point to say it's not just a security issue. It's also an economic issue.
