“In hindsight, Mom had always made a traditional potato salad, which consisted of white potatoes, white onions, white eggs and snow-white Miracle Whip. It begged for some color, so she'd add the red badge of paprika.”
“There's just something about deviled eggs, whether it's the summer around Fourth of July for a picnic or a big sit-down meal like Christmas or Easter, we always do that.”
“There's always going to be somebody who didn't like the way you told the story, or they didn't like your point of view, or they don't like your hair.”
“Peter did his first network TV in fourth grade on Take Your Child to Work Day.”
“When you think about it, a family's history can be really fragile, with significant stories we hope somebody in the next generation will remember and pass on.”
“Well, you know, anytime you start... whatever the business is. In the beginning, you got to think, is there a market for this? If you build it, will they come?”
“To do 'Fox & Friends' I get up at 3:30 A.M. every morning, including weekends - a hard habit to break.”
“The secret to a happy marriage is... separate bathrooms.”
“A priest told me once at a spiritual retreat, 'Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous.' I think about that a lot.”
“As long as there is freedom and opportunity for all, America will always be a city on a hill.”

“We're a big family here at Fox.”

“As the title implies, 'The Happy Cookbook' - by me and my wife Kathy - is a collection of over 100 easy and delicious recipes that make people happy. The instant we see the meal or smell the aroma of it, it activates the nostalgia department of our brains and we are transported back to a happy time in our lives.”
