Of The People Who Cook On Television, I Have Admired People Like Jacques Pepin, Julia Child, Mario Batali, Jamie Oliver And A Few Others Because They Are Free Of Drama, Display Good Taste And Masterful Technique, And Use Clear Exposition To Bring You Up To Speed.

In Terms Of Other People's Perception Of Me, That's Their Business. There Are People Who I Have Never Met But, For Whatever Reason, I Am Certain That These People Are Jack-offs. I've Never Met Billy Joel, But I'm Absolutely Convinced He's An Asshole. I Can't Justify That Opinion, That's Just What I Think. But My Opinion About Billy Joel Isn't Going To Affect Him In The Slightest. In The Same Way, I Am Sure There Are People Out There Who Are Completely Convinced That I Am An Asshole, For Whatever Reason. They Might Even Feel More Justified Than I Feel About My Presumptive Opinion Of Billy Joel.
