Growing up, there were a lot of funerals that I attended, and the adults at the funerals went out of their way to make sure that I wasn't traumatized or overly depressed by them. So death is always a celebration of life for me, and it's also hugely dramatic.

Bryan Fuller

Weddings and funerals have so much in common (except that in Ireland funerals are more fun - better food, better drink): at both, our senses are sharpened and we register much more than usual - a striking face or hair-do, the wind's behaviour, a bird singing.

Michael Longley

I have grown up in a house around all foodies.

Lara Dutta

I always say to people that Zimbabweans are the funniest people in Africa; we even laugh at funerals. And it's true. I mean, there are so many jokes about funerals. There are so many jokes about AIDS. We find ways of coping with pain by laughing at it and by laughing at ourselves.

Petina Gappah

I'm not a foodie; I'm an eatie. I don't have anything against foodies. I just don't have the time or the interest to do that much research.

Jim Gaffigan

I want to make sure the fine-dining restaurant has a clientele who is local as much as tourists and foodies.

Daniel Boulud

I get cross with foodies who think hospital food should be Michelin-star and caterers can fall into this trap.

Prue Leith

Lots of the cooking classes open to non-professionals are too low level for experienced foodies, or don’t offer enough hands-on training.

Food is a part of life. People are foodies and love to shop for food.

Jean-Georges Vongerichten

I'm sick of the foodies who need every morsel that goes into their mouth to be a Picasso painting, a Giacometti sculpture, a Proust novel, evoking the world with each crumb.

My sons, Azaan and Zahaan, make for scintillating company; they are both foodies. The three of us love spending time trying out new joints and cuisines.

Zeenat Aman

Even if some of us daren't admit it to ourselves, we are all a little conscious of Christmas weight gain. The trouble for foodies like myself is the best way to socialise is over a meal.

Rachel Khoo

When we talk about foodies, we're talking about less than five per cent of the population who eat nicely. For most people it's just fuel: 'I gotta feed the kids.'

Ainsley Harriott

We don't do funerals in my family.
