- [on hosting 'Celebrity Cooks']: I was once mixing something in a high-speed mixer and forgot to put the lid on. I just lost my concentration, and when I turned the thing on, stuff shot up in the air and came down on my head and all over my shoulders. It looked like a flock of seagulls had just flown over me and made their deposits.
