Once you figure out how to make a great steak, where its not just you who likes it, but other people say it tastes like a restaurants steak. Once you figure that out your rub is your rub, your cooking technique is your technique   once I figured that out, I started having people over for dinner and I wanted to impress themtheres a lot of stuff I can make because Ive learned from so many great people, but steak is my go to, because I can make it better than the steakhouses in L. A. When somebody tastes that and its from home, thats a good feeling. FPJ Sure, but they still had to eat it. They dont have any say. I had no say as a kidwhat my mom cooked, I ate. And if I didnt, that was my breakfast the next dayThere will be dinners Rocky does not want to eat, where he literally sees it and he says Daddy, no, and I say, you have two choices, brother eat or dont. And if you break once, your kids will knowMy daughter chooses to put broccoli on her pizza. I dont tell her to. She can make linguine with steamed clams and mussels and loves it, because she didnt have any say when she was young. I say, if you dont want to eat the clams, youre not going to get the linguine. Thats just the way it goes. You eat all of it or you eat none of it. Your mother worked hard on this meal, your father worked hard on this meal. And that was the rule in my house, so were strict. People see me with my kids and say man, youre hardcore, and Ill say, its not hardcore to me, its just normal. Im not judging  people do what people do. As long as your kids are healthy and happy, then you got it right, and my kids are, so Im not going to change. FPJ The easiest thing I can teach anyone is to learn how to cook by cooking everything on low. If you cook something on high, youre going to burn it when youre starting out. I know some people like to do everything on high, but I do everything on low, so thats my first thing. If you dont hear it sizzle, its too low. But as long as its sizzling, its cooking, and you can keep your eyes on it, but its much harder to make mistakes. With baking, its a lot harder because thats science. If you screw something up, its toast. FPJ Theyve seen Scooby Doo. Their friends had already seen it, and they were probably the last of all their friends to see it. Once they asked, Hey, were you Fred on Scooby Doo I explained we were in the movie Freddie played Fred Jones and Sarah played Daphne Blake in the beloved live action adaptation and its sequel and they said can we see it and we showed it to them. FPJ If its guys, its Scooby. If its girls, its Shes All That because you were all in love with me back then. FPJ Blockbuster ruined your whole fantasy, so dont be mad at me. Be mad at them for going out of business. I totally get it Growing up I had posters of Cindy Crawford. I met her one time, and I was married to Sarah and we were happy, but she still freaked out when she saw Cindy and I walking towards each other to say hello. She grabbed me pretty tightly and said, This is my husband. FPJ I wouldnt be a part of it. Im definitely done with that part of my career, but if they want to reintroduce it to a new generation, thats cool. Were living in an era of the intellectual property, so there are not a lot of new ideas being produced. I assure you, theyre being written, but writers cant sell them unless theyve got a built in audience. With studios, its become all about marketing, marketing, marketing, so they dilute that pool even more and require a built in audience. Like with the music industry, whats your Twitter following Okay, well sign you. Its an interesting time for the entertainment industry right now. Im all for it, if thats the kind of art that studios want to makeIve heard about a reboot to Shes All That. If they make it, it wouldnt be with me, and its nothing against them.
