Growing up, I remember I had several different 45 singles. But the first album I received was from a family friend: Emmylou Harris' 'Roses In The Snow.' It was so incredible. This record, to this day, is the favorite album of my life.

In the South, I think, food mirrors our lives. When I was growing up, no matter what you were grieving or celebrating, my mama would be at the door with a cake or a pie.

My daughter loves to cook. At first, I found myself making her be really neat and precise. Then I realized it's OK if things get all over the floor and counters and ceiling. We're making memories.

As weird as it may seem, I enjoy doing laundry and watering my plants, very normal things like that.

As people get older, they get married, have kids. I'm not married. I don't have kids, so I'm able to focus 100 percent on this.

Romance, like the rabbit at the dog track, is the elusive, fake, and never attained reward which, for the benefit and amusement of our masters, keeps us running and thinking in safe circles.

I loved football even before I married a quarterback; it's not for every woman, but I like it.

Dining with a married couple can be uncomfortable.
