I have over a hundred clocks. I've got fancy clocks and clocks from all over the world that people made for me.

I got a lot happening, a whole lot, and it's not always easy being me.

Since 1987, when I got my first one, I've been wearing a clock around my neck 24/7. You feel me? 24/7.

I got my degree in culinary arts in 1978.

Best advice that I ever got is to do whatever it takes to make myself happy, so that I'll be able to make others happy. If I'm not happy, I can't make other people happy.

My parents owned a soul food diner. It inspired me to go to culinary school.
