  12. Promises are the uniquely human way of ordering the future, making it predictable and reliable to the extent that this is humanly possible.

  5. I think you can tell the food is close to my heart, too, because I'm doing what I do best.
  6. I wasn't looking to get into TV. My family was in the movie business, so I was never interested in that world.

  8. I'm into very colorful food. Obviously lots of flavor, but I think we eat with our eyes first, so it has to look great. The presentation has to be great.
  9. Lidia Bastianich, sorry, but kind of boring. I mean, I love Lidia, but you can fall asleep watching her. And Mario Batali? I love Mario to death... but he's not romantic or sensual. Those are the things I bring to the table.
  10. My family truly believes they are better cooks than I am. They see me as Giada, not as a celebrity chef. To them I'm just me - their granddaughter, niece, etc., and they're older and wiser. I like that because it keeps you grounded.

  15. When I was a kid, for my birthday every year, my mother made me pasta bechamel, which is rigatoni with a white cream sauce.

 

  1. Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.
  2. Every time there's a revolution, it comes from somebody reading a book about revolution. David Walker wrote a book and Nat Turner did his thing.
  3. God lets everything happen for a reason. It's all a learning process, and you have to go from one level to another.
  4. I can inspire people on how to use money, how to get economically powerful.

  12. I love to hit people. I love to.
  13. I want to rip out his heart and feed it to Lennox Lewis. I want to kill people. I want to rip their stomachs out and eat their children.
  14. If Jesus was here, do you think Jesus would show me any love? Do you think Jesus would love me?
  15. I'm a dreamer. I have to dream and reach for the stars, and if I miss a star then I grab a handful of clouds.
  16. I'm a Muslim, but I think Jesus would have a drink with me. He would be cool. He would talk to me.
  17. I'm in trouble because I'm normal and slightly arrogant. A lot of people don't like themselves and I happen to be totally in love with myself.
  18. I'm the biggest fighter in the history of the sport. If you don't believe it, check the cash register.
  19. It's good to know how to read, but it's dangerous to know how to read and not how to interpret what you're reading.
  20. Mr. Arthur Ashe, he was good. I read some of his books. He knew about everything, but he was real quiet and didn't talk much. I never met him.
  21. Our money is bait money, and bait money is not to be used.
  22. Real freedom is having nothing. I was freer when I didn't have a cent.
  23. That's what people respect, the fact that I wasn't a chump that laid on his back and gave up.
  24. When Jesus comes back, these crazy, greedy, capitalistic men are gonna kill him again.
  25. You come home, and you party. But after that, you get a hangover. Everything about that is negative.
