I'm a maniacal perfectionist.
Bloggers create kind of a popularity. But they are not the experts, and we have to understand that.
I don't have time to have friends come and stay, except on weekends in Maine. I invite a lot of people to come to Maine.
I think you can fairly say I spawned or laid an egg that has turned into a lifestyle industry.
One of the things I do to stay healthy and fit is to make sure I exercise every single day. Aside from eating right and getting enough sleep, exercise keeps me trim and boosts my energy.
I have proven that being a perfectionist can be profitable and admirable when creating content across the board: in television, books, newspapers, radio, videos.
I support Alice Waters in her desire that there be a vegetable garden at the White House. I don't think they should rip up the Rose Garden, because that's something that I love. They should probably dig up another patch and grow some vegetables there.

I was married for 30 years. Isn't that enough? I've had my share of dirty underwear on the floor.
I think it's very important that whatever you're trying to make or sell, or teach has to be basically good. A bad product and you know what? You won't be here in ten years.
I - I try to do as much as I can, wherever I am. So, at the farm, I'm always thinking of some new project, some new thing I can do.
Whether you're a programmer or a seamstress, it's all about new techniques, simplifying old techniques, and consolidating steps. Making things go faster - but not worse.
I live in an old house with no closets and no built-ins. I hate big cupboards.
The last place I would ever want to go is prison.
I was a very curious person because of my parents. They encouraged me to be as curious about as many things as I wanted.
I had no idea when I went to college what I'd be doing. I took organic chemistry and did terribly, but I was good in English and art. I took many courses and participated in as many activities as I could. I learned a lot about every single thing.
