If you think about a Thanksgiving dinner it's really like making a large chicken.

Why not collect and clean chicken wishbones in the run-up to Christmas spray them silver and use each to pinch together a white hem-stitch napkin?

My father died when I was young and I was raised by my grandmother Emma Klonjlaleh Brown. We could afford to eat chicken just once a year on Christmas.

When I do get pregnant I highly doubt I'll be one of those women who don't look pregnant from behind - I'll be that chick who looks pregnant from her ankles up!

I have several dogs and several cats who aren't really mine. In fact they think that I am theirs. I'd like to have some goats and chickens but I travel around too much.

I was vegetarian for a long time and in the last four years I started eating chicken and fish. I feel like it really built up my strength a lot.

I also have a soft spot for spicy chicken wings. They are always best eaten at dives and sports bars like Wogie's in the West Village New York City near my house.

A lot of guys and people in our society think that chicks just love dudes with money. Chicks love dudes who are successful who happen to have money - do you know what I mean? Chicks are attracted to dudes that are doing their own thing.

I don't read 'chick lit ' fantasy or science fiction but I'll give any book a chance if it's lying there and I've got half an hour to kill.

PETA's campaign should be included in school curricula. If we can open children's hearts and minds to animals' needs teach them to treat a dog or a chicken as if they feel fear and love and pain - as they do - then they will grow up to understand that we are all worthy of respect.

Religion is no more the parent of morality than an incubator is the mother of a chicken.

The key to everything is patience. You get the chicken by hatching the egg not by smashing it.

I think I first realized I wanted to be in country music and be an artist when I was 10. And I started dragging my parents to festivals and fairs and karaoke contests and I did that for about a year before I came to Nashville for the first time. I was 11 and I had this demo CD of me singing Dixie Chicks and Leanne Rimes songs.

Unfortunately 'chick flick' has become a term to describe most movies that I don't even like. They're these movies that yes have women in them but they really don't reflect who women are and there's something kind of silly or shallow or gossipy about them.

Yes I'm going to be the President of the United States. You know why? You think you can get chicks by being in the movies? You can really get chicks by being the President.

In order to have good fried chicken you should wash and season the bird the morning you're preparing it for dinner. Don't wait and do it right before you start cooking. Throw it in the refrigerator seasoned that morning and give it a chance to soak up all the salt and pepper and goodness.

My mom taught me how to make grilled chicken and I bake too.
