Tulsa was the kind of place where you could go to any door and borrow a cup of sugar. Everybody knew everybody. Truthfully, I don’t even remember dealing with any racism in our town; we all got along.
My blood sugar went out of control. Diabetes runs in my family, so I went to see my doctor. He was like, ‘Buck up,’ and it was sort of the wake-up call that I needed to hear.

It’s got to be speciality coffee or nothing. I love posh coffee but I have lattes with sugar, so I’m not a purist at all, but it has to be specific or it’s just not worth it to me.
I used to bodyguard for Muhammad Ali, Leon Spinks, Sugar Ray Leonard. I used to bodyguard a lot of diamond merchants; I would travel with a suitcase full of diamonds and take them from point A to point B. My reputation grew because I was a professional. I did my job, and I was courteous – a no-nonsense guy.
We don’t come up with product names like ‘Cookie Sugar a la Mode.’ We made a commitment that our brand is straightforward.

Plain sugar cookies, no matter how well they are made, are a bit boring to me.
You look how much sugar is in a typical supermarket loaf of bread: it’s a lot of sugar. It’s just become one of those sugar delivery systems in our food economy.

Sometimes ‘great acting’ is just showing off – chewing up scenery and dialogue and other actors – the equivalent of a theatrical sugar rush.
I took a cookery course. On the examination, I had to cook a cheese omelet with peas and an egg custard. With the egg custard, which was supposed to be a dessert, I forget to put the sugar in, so that’s more of a quiche, isn’t it?
Wheat makes my stomach very bloated. Sugar is horrible for my skin, but I love it.

With the recent news that the State of Florida has agreed to purchase 181,000 acres of U.S. Sugar land, we have an historic opportunity for our larger restoration efforts and for the people of Florida. This too will not come without difficult challenges, but it reminds us that anything is possible.
Everybody’s got their poison, and mine is sugar.
If you’re struggling with that sweet tooth, try making healthy sugar swaps using things like honey, maple syrup, and medjool dates. These are all completely natural and will satisfy any sweet cravings.

I remember wrapping up the shoot for ‘Hope And A Little Sugar’ and going straight to a salon to cut my hair very short.
I don’t have the self-discipline for diets; I break rules I set for myself, so I try and eat more healthily, juice more, and avoid sugar.

I liked the idea of all of humanity fitting inside a sugar cube because more than 99.9% of matter is space.
A meringue is really nothing but a foam. And what is a foam after all, but a big collection of bubbles? And what’s a bubble? It’s basically a very flimsy little latticework of proteins draped with water. We add sugar to this structure, which strengthens it. But things can, and do, go wrong.
There is a water soluble sugar that is in beans called oligosaccharides, and they are indigestible by human beings. They ferment during the digestion process, and hence, you have gas.

I don’t encourage kids to eat sugar, but I do it.
I was way too hyperactive to study for long. I would freak out, then crash, then be too tired to read or write. I really should have had less sugar.
Parents shouldn’t assume children are made out of sugar candy and will break and collapse instantly. Kids don’t. We do.
Magical realism is a blending of the unusual or supernatural into an otherwise ordinary setting. And, to me, this perfectly describes the South. ‘The Sugar Queen’ involves a lot of magical happenings, but in a very down-home Southern setting. It’s full of things that could almost be true.
My own journey in becoming a poet began with memory – with the need to record and hold on to what was being lost. One of my earliest poems, ‘Give and Take,’ was about my Aunt Sugar, how I was losing her to her memory loss.

I don’t really use any face products anymore because they make me break out. I like natural remedies. I usually put honey on my face. Sometimes, I put sugar in it so it’s an exfoliant, too. I add raw coconut oil, which is good as a face wash and a moisturizer.
