Without question, I’m not a fan of the EPA. The EPA has overstepped their boundaries each and every day.

I have no boundaries. I have nothing to hide.
While some people may think being a chef only entails making enticing dishes and pushing the culinary boundaries, being a part of the food industry involves much more.

I refuse to totally grow up. I’ve always been someone who says and does things that push politically correct boundaries.
A lot of TV can be linear and cinematic and formulaic. What’s to say that people can’t be creative and surreal – and push boundaries? You can look at a piece of art and not necessarily know what it means or what the artist intended by it. It’s the effect it has on you.
Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. Take that off the table. Tell both sides to come together and say, ‘Okay, you decide how you want to split up Jerusalem. You decide if you’re going to create boundaries or borders there.’ And let them decide.
I saw myself as a trailblazer in the 1980s as a female lawyer in the City. It was exciting, as women were outnumbered by men five to one.
