You can only begin to be great when you embrace a sense of your own ridiculousness.

A lot of food criticism has a similar flavor to it, and I'm probably going to write about it in a different way.

Boho to me is a first-year student who's just discovered the tie-dye shop.

Traditionally, lots of vagrants and unemployable characters wind up working in kitchens.

Men behave very oddly in the company of attractive women.

I find American football quite ridiculous generally. I don't understand it. It looks like a lot of guys dressed up as spacemen shouting at each other.

People's musical tastes are fickle, and music can be a fashion.

There are loads of bands I'd love to produce.
