I think we all have a dream of what it would be like not to work and grow heirloom tomatoes, and I do have that dream. It would be lovely. I do love gardening and all of that, but I do love my work.

I'd describe myself as a Christian who doesn't believe in God.

I don't believe that if you do good, good things will happen. Everything is completely accidental and random. Sometimes bad things happen to very good people and sometimes good things happen to bad people. But at least if you try to do good things, then you're spending your time doing something worthwhile.

Gardening is learning, learning, learning. That's the fun of them. You're always learning.

The trick in life is learning how to deal with it.

The great marriages are partnerships. It can't be a great marriage without being a partnership.
