I know I look the part, and people used to come up to me in the street and talk to me as if I was a crazy party girl. But I don`t go out clubbing because that whole thing is too claustrophobic. As for shopping, I`d rather walk my dogs, Ziggy Stardust and Charlie Barton. I cook a mean lasagne, and some people say my potatoes au gratin are pretty on fire. I guess some people are disappointed. I`m always being associated with other girls, but we`re not in the same crowd. I have only met Paris Hilton once and that was in passing.
- Mischa BartonI don`t think I shall live to a very old age anyway. I`ve always had that feeling, but if you can stop your body falling apart you`ve won half the battle. I believe in that adage, You are what you eat. If you eat a colossal amount of potatoes, you end up looking like one. All lumpy and knobbly-kneed. I`m not a vegetarian or anything, but I prefer fish to meat and I don`t drink milk or eat a lot of starchy foods.
- Mick JaggerMy dream is to become a farmer. Just a Bohemian guy pulling up his own sweet potatoes for dinner.
- Lenny KravitzMy father was grounded, a very meat-and-potatoes man. He was a baker.
- Anthony HopkinsThe food was interesting. My background is Russian, so cheese and potatoes are my love. There was plenty of that. And fried cheese! It is really, really, really good. And really, really, really bad for you. It`s like an artery on a plate.
- Michelle TrachtenbergI love to cook comfort food. I`ll make fish and vegetables or meat and vegetables and potatoes or rice. The ritual of it is fun for me, and the creativity of it.
- Reese WitherspoonI have these big piano-playing hands. I feel like I should be picking potatoes.
- Sandra BullockI was a big Jersey meat-and-potatoes kind of guy before I got here.
- Scott WolfMy favorite meal is turkey and mashed potatoes. I love Thanksgiving, it`s just my favorite. I can have Thanksgiving all year round.
- Cindy MargolisTo fulfill a dream, to be allowed to sweat over lonely labor, to be given a chance to create, is the meat and potatoes of life. The money is the gravy.
- Bette DavisTo fulfill a dream, to be allowed to sweat over lonely labor, to be given the chance to create, is the meat and potatoes of life. The money is the gravy. As everyone else, I love to dunk my crust in it. But alone, it is not a diet designed to keep body and soul together.
- Bette DavisMeat is an inefficient way to eat. An acre of land can yield 20,000 pounds of potatoes, but that same acre would only graze enough cows to get 165 pounds of meat.
- Alexandra PaulThat was where my dream began to take hold, of not havin` to pick cotton and potatoes, and not havin` to be uncomfortable, too hot or too cold. That in itself had driven me to try to find some better way of life.
- Buck OwensIt is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.
- Douglas AdamsShrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, sautee it. There`s, um, shrimp kebabs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo, pan fried, deep fried, stir fried. There`s pineapple shrimp and lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich... That`s, that`s about it.
- Mykelti Williamson(The Basque Table `s 130 recipes introduce American cooks to a cuisine that is as easy to prepare as it is elegant and satisfying. These delicious dishes are flavourful and healthful, as Basque cooking is based on fresh vegetables, fish and shellfish, lean meats, rice, potatoes, and the olive oil for which Spain is justly famous. These time-honoured recipes are perfect for today`s sophisticated palate and health-conscious concern for a balanced diet that doesn`t compromise on flavour.) It`s a delight to encounter a book that revels in the honest flavours of the farm, garden, and sea, ... as I sit back and read Ms. Barrenechea`s book, there unfolds a cuisine at once pure, simple, and joyful.
- James PetersonIf you ask any lady they want to be taller, they want to be slimmer, you know, and they want a waist. I`m not here to make people look like a sack of potatoes.
- Alexander McQueenHow can a society that exists on instant mashed potatoes, packaged cake mixes, frozen dinners, and instant cameras teach patience to its young?
- Amy CarmichaelPeople who eat potatoes will never be able to perform their abilities in whatever job they choose to have.
- Amy UriellThe next time I have meat and mashed potatoes, I think I`ll put a very large blob of potatoes on my plate with just a little piece of meat. And if someone asks me why I didn`t get more meat, I`ll just say, "Oh, you mean this?" and pull out a big piece of meat from inside the blob of potatoes, where I`ve hidden it. Good magic trick, huh?
- Andy IgrejasJeep is to Toledo is what cheese is to Wisconsin, what potatoes are to Idaho, what sunshine is to Florida.
- Andy StephensCyclists naturally latch onto it. But it`s a real mix that I`ve heard from. Some are couch potatoes. Some are people who wonder what it`s like to ride that many miles. Some people think it`s funny. It`s curious that people take away different things from it.
- Art IlaganShe was part of her church choir, step team and usher board. She loved McDonald`s, mashed potatoes ? but most of all she loved the Lord.
- Barnett LawleyZen does not confuse spirituality with thinking about God while one is peeling potatoes. Zen spirituality is just to peel the potatoes.
- Alan Watts"I didn`t have enough sense to be scared. It was a contest to promote yo-yos. And i didn`t have a yo-yo, so this ment that they`d give me a yo-yo and I`d get to sing, which I loved to do, and I didn`t care why I did it. So, they gave me a yo-yo about a week in advance. I wasn`t very good with it, but I was good enough to do straight up-and-down, `See the World.` And then I learned to do `Around the World.` Those were to only tricks I could do, but I could do `em singin` "Potatoes are Cheaper/Tomatoes are Cheaper/Now`s The Time To Fall In Love." I won third prize, which was two tickets to come back and watch somebody else be foolish. But it was during the depression, and everything you got for nothing, well, you prized it."
