If you want to become a great chef, you have to work with great chefs. And that's exactly what I did.
We create a standard for how we want to do things, and everybody's got to buy into that standard or you really can't have any team chemistry.
I want the last cheque I write to bounce.
We all want love. We all want to be taken care of and supported and cherished.
I'm lucky because I have so many clashing cultural, racial things going on: black, Jewish, Irish, Portuguese, Cherokee. I can float and be part of any community I want.
When I want to kick it up, I like to add hardwood chips or chunks to the grill; it adds bold smoky flavors. The most common woods are hickory and mesquite, but you can find alder, apple, cherry and, my personal favorite, pecan.
I want to do with you what spring does with cherry trees.
All I want to do, ever, is play chess.
We can walk and chew gum at the same time. Yes, the American people want us to legislate, they want us to insist on furthering their set of values, but they also want us to resist and exercise our oversight powers.
Twenty years on, the books are still fun to write and I've still got lots of stories I want to tell, mainly about social injustice and people chewed up by the system.
I just want to make pictures that are entertaining. I'll leave the scenery chewing to someone else.
I always wanted to be an artist, whatever that was, like other chicks want to be stewardesses. I read. I painted. I thought.
I don't want to be a great chief executive without being a great mum and a great wife.
I just want to be really clear about this: Anyone who has read Colin Powell's biography - there's an entire section where he talks about experiencing segregation. Colin Powell did not appear when he became head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. That's not how it happened.
I could have gone the route of a lot of these former child actors, but I didn't want that for myself. Like I said, when I was 14 years old, I decided to quit. I didn't ever want to do it again.
Child care is very important, so I want to put dollars there, and I want to make sure we get the policies right.
I don't want to go all Michael Jackson on you, but I never really had a childhood.
At some point, I don't want to have any obligation. And just chill out.
My parents are very cool and wildly supportive - maybe almost too much. I want to tell them to chill out.
If people want to compete for leadership of a religious group, they can compete in piety. A chilling thought. Or funny.
