I used to think that: whenever I heard that someone had taken 10 years to write a novel, I’d think it must be a big, serious book. Now I think, ‘No – it took you one year to write, and nine years to sit around eating Kit Kats.’ – Ian Rankin
I don’t have any horror stories of trying to start as a comedian and eating it constantly on stage. – Jenny Slate
We eat as sons and daughters, as families, as communities, as generations, as nations, and increasingly as a globe. We can’t stop our eating from radiating influence even if we want to. – Jonathan Safran Foer
Those persons who suffer from indigestion, or who become drunk, are utterly ignorant of the true principles of eating and drinking. – Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin
Everyone has a different impression of what they are eating; not everyone tastes the same things, and definitely, not everyone has the same food memories. – Johnny Iuzzini
I eat an avocado every day. It’s amazing for your skin. It’s one of the super-foods, and I’m just so into eating properly and healthily. – Joan Collins
Everybody’s eating all my – brownies, granola, anything you eat cooked, I can find you raw. – Carol Alt
The usual justification for eating extra meals is that it keeps the metabolism ‘revved up’ so that weight loss is easier. There is, however, very little hard evidence that supports this idea, and a fair amount that disputes it. – Andrew Weil
I love eating sushi and eating raw and clean – no pasta and bread. Low carbs is what works for me. – Christine Teigen
Steakhouses serve these big steaks. The first piece is hot, and the last piece is cold. The way I like to eat is to try three or four cuts of meat. People should actually be eating less meat, and the meat they eat should be special. – Jose Andres
Four months is a lot of living with that little life in you-thinking about it, eating right for it, nurturing it and all of a sudden, it dies. – Christie Brinkley
Success to me is having ten honeydew melons and eating only the top half of each slice. – Barbra Streisand
I’m fairly adventurous with my eating. I’ve tried kangaroo, and Moreton Bay bugs, which are a kind of lobster, are so good. – Brian O’Driscoll
One of the rudest things you can do, food-wise, is to stare at someone in the act of eating. It draws attention to the unseemly fact that eating is a bodily function – like animals, we are trapped by our hungers, but we do our best to disguise them with such civilized props as menus and forks. – Bee Wilson
Sometimes the buzz of reading about others eating comes from the voyeuristic thrill of seeing how the other half lives: the gold leaf and truffles or – in the case of Trimalchio’s feast in Petronius’ ‘Satyricon’ – the dormice and honey. – Bee Wilson

I think it would be fair to say that most female dancers have dealt with, whether it’s an extreme, or minor complex in eating disorders. So the first thing I would say to girls who are feeling that way is you’re not alone. You’re far from alone. You’re the majority. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with what you’re feeling. – Amanda Schull
I was eating bad stuff. Lots of sugar and carbs, junk food all the time. It makes you very irritated. – Avril Lavigne
Salt is one of the flavors that makes food taste good – salt, sugar and fat. So it’s a natural thing for all chefs and cooks to add salt, because it enhances the flavor of the food. If you go out to eat, I guarantee you’re going to be eating a lot of salted foods that you are going to have no idea. – Brett Hoebel
I woke up an hour before I was supposed to, and started going over the mental checklist: where do I go from here, what do I do? I don’t remember eating anything at all, just going through the physical, getting into the suit. We practiced that so much, it was all rote. – Alan Shepard
If I could be doing anything, I’d be laying on the floor in my birthday suit eating junk food and watching something dumb on TV. – Anita Baker
You know how you feel when you get full? Well, I don’t get full. I can eat a lot. Mike and I were in Italy for 10 days, and I put on 8 pounds. So in real life, I have to make sure I’m not eating just to eat. – Carrie Underwood
