More From Emeril Lagasse
- "I spent a lot of time on farms when I was young. My uncle and my dad owned a big farm."
- "I started cooking when I was about 10. I have memories like when I was 6 or 7 with my mom, and when I was 12 I started getting real serious about cooking."
- "My inspiration was my mom. She’s a great cook, and she still cooks, and we still banter back and forth about cooking. Growing up in a mostly Portuguese community, food was important and the family table was extremely important. At a very young age I understood that."

There’s this perception that I can only be in a film if I have a glass of champagne in my hand and a stately home in the background."― Kristin Scott Thomas
- "I grew up in Marcy Projects in Brooklyn, and my mom and pop had an extensive record collection, so Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder and all of those sounds and souls of Motown filled the house."― Jay-Z
- "No man is responsible for his father. That was entirely his mother’s affair."― Margaret Turnbull
