Food Brings People Together On

Many Chefs Of A Certain Caliber Do Not See Me As A Chef. I Don't Have A Restaurant. They See Me As A Tv Food Personality, Not A Chef. I've Gotten Respect, Trust Me, They Respect Me, But I Think That I Can't Hit That Particular Level Of Respect From Them Until I Have A Successful Vegas Restaurant That Not Only Makes Money But Creates Unbelievable Food And A Fabulous Experience. I Don't Think People Think I Can Cook, And They Don't Think I Know What The Hell I'm Doing.

It Will Be A Great Success To Me If My Family Comes Into The Restaurant And Says That They're Proud Of What I've Done, They're Proud Of The Way I've Represented The De Laurentiis Name, And That They Love My Food. That Is The Moment Of Pure Pride For Me.

I Keep My Skin - Especially On My Face And Neck - Out Of The Sun. My Brother Died Of Melanoma Eight Years Ago, And I've Got Spf On All The Time, 24-7. It Makes You Realize, The Sun Is A Wonderful Thing, But It Can Be A Very Devastating Thing. So Sunscreen Is Key, And A Lot Of Laughter, Too.

Pasta Doesn't Make You Fat. How Much Pasta You Eat Makes You Fat.

I'm Comfortable In My Own Skin. I Know I'm Not Going To Ever Be Cindy Crawford Or Elle Macpherson.
