The magazine, the daytime show, weve always tried to write affordable, accessible. Those are key words for us, and I do mean us, a huge staff of people at the magazine who love to cook affordable, friendly food that helps families eat better for less. – 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
We created a line of pet food called Nutrish thats made to human standards, and 100 percent of the proceeds go to animal rescue. One of our top-tier donors is the ASPCA, and they help us challenge animal shelters all across the country to get more animals placed in homes. – Rachael Ray
Cats are very independent animals. Theyre very sexy, if you want. Dogs are different. Theyre familiar. Theyre obedient. You call a cat, you go, Cat, come here. He doesnt come to you unless you have something in your hand that he thinks might be food. Theyre very free animals, and I like that. – Antonio Banderas
