Jackie Chan is a very good comedy/martial arts star. He does one kind of martial arts that Jet Li doesnt know how to do and Jet Li does a martial art that Jackie Chan doesnt know how to do. You can both go to two Chinese restaurants, but both can have different kinds of food. – Jet Li

My husband cooks fancier food for himself than Ive ever cooked on-air. I call him from the road, and hes making champagne-vanilla salmon or black-cherry pork chop. Half of me is feeling unworthy. Not only am I not a chef, Im not a better cook than my own husband! – Rachael Ray

When I do a 30-minute meal, for instance, on Food Network, thats my food you see at the end of the show and its not perfect. And if sometimes things break or drop or the pasta hits the wall when Im draining it, they never stop tape. They just kind of let me go with it. – Rachael Ray
