I wasn't that great a chef, and I don't think I'm that great a writer.
I love 'Iron Chef' and I love 'Chopped.' I watch both of them. I think it is crazy what those chefs go through.
Chefs are fond of hyperbole, so they can certainly talk that way. But on the whole, I think they probably have a more open mind than most people.
What you're going to be eating in the next year is decided by chefs. If the consensus is that pot-bellies are in next season, that's what's on your plate. And I think that's a good thing, because we know, obviously, about food.
I think that more and more and more really talented restauranteurs and chefs from the fine dining world are going to try their hand at fine casual. They're going to say, 'Why not us?'
I think probably I've been influenced by Chekhov and Walt Disney, if you see what I mean.
My favorite author is Anton Chekhov, not so much for the plays but for his short stories, and I think he was really my tutor.
When Chelsea was 9 months old, I was defeated for reelection in the Reagan landslide. And I became overnight, I think, the youngest former governor in the history of the country. We only had two-year terms back then.
I think Chelsea Handler is the funniest woman.
I think old people like Hillary Clinton and I shouldn't try and be cool with social networks, you know; maybe she should leave that stuff up to Chelsea.
The Ranelagh Gardens in Chelsea provide plenty of opportunities to walk, think and relax.
Certainly there is such a thing as chemical depression, and for that, obviously, there are issues that psychotherapists are much more expert at speaking to, but I think there is a low-grade depression that actually prevails in our society. And most of us feel it.
Computer photography won't be photography as we know it. I think photography will always be chemical.
Think about it - just getting rid of the fat doesn't get rid of the toxins, which are reabsorbed into your body. This creates a vicious cycle. Losing weight without learning to eliminate chemicals is like a merry-go-round. And it's why dieting doesn't work.
I don't think of myself as a comedian, but as an artist, a scientist and chemist who just happens to be funny. I started doing stand-up to add another level to my game. I feel that I'm a young rookie with a veteran's skill.
My grandmother was a chemist. She worked at the Banting Institute in Toronto, and at 44 she died of stomach cancer. I never met my grandmother, but I carry on her name - her exact name, Eva Vertes - and I like to think I carry on her scientific passion, too.
To think is to practice brain chemistry.
I think when two people are present and engaged and listening to each other, that's what creates the chemistry. And then the ability to react off of what the other person is saying.
I don't think it's fair to compare Dick Cheney to Vader - it's unfair to Vader.
I think I discovered I wanted to be an actor when I got the first pay cheque.
