I have a lot of feminist idols. My favorite thing about growing up in Arkansas – well, not favorite but something I’ve always felt grateful for – was that I really had to dig for what I could. There was no Internet. There wasn’t tons of feminist literature floating around.
I’ve already played against some of my biggest idols.

I have my idols like Julia Child, Jacques Pepin, and those chefs that really forged the way in Americas understanding of food. Then working with chefs like Craig Anderson at The Charles Hotel and Mark Baker at the Four Seasons.

I’ve already played against some of my biggest idols.
The Sandwich Islands are not the same as Otaheite nor as the Fijis, from which they are distant about 4,000 miles, nor are their people of the same race. The natives are not cannibals, and it is doubtful if they ever were so. Their idols only exist in missionary museums.

God doesn’t dwell in the wooden, stony or earthen idols. His abode is in our feelings, our thoughts.

We all have idols. Play like anyone you care about but try to be yourself while you’re doing so.

A lot of the former Idols were voting for me, and that makes me feel really good.
Again, both literature and philosophy work by appealing to certain reigning idols.

Rachel Bilson, Nicole Richie, Vanessa Hudgens… so many of my idols growing up were Bongo girls.
