Quotes
Padma Lakshmi
Indian-American TV personality and food expert
“We all live, especially in New York, in a very diverse country where people across the street will be speaking a different language, eating different kinds of foods, praying to a different God but oftentimes, because of those differences, we don't walk across the street or get to know them.”

“I hope you take the time to read all of the profiles because I met some extraordinary people, everyday people but extraordinary stories. And I want us to know each other more, so that we hopefully talk with each other more.”
