If I'm celebrating, I can have a couple of cookies, but if I'm sad, I want 10 cookies, while the cookie is in your mouth, that moment is happiness -- and then it's gone, and you're sad again, and you have another one.

Even today, after eating and living with them for 40 years, I still can't stop eating them, i am either eating no cookies, or I am eating several. I can't have one.

I think a lot of it has to do with the connection to our past, whether it was a grandmother, a mother, a place visited, a summer home or family time. It's also usually the first cookie every child learned how to make, and so I think there's a tremendous emotional attachment and remembrance with the chocolate chip cookie, lifestyles are changing, but that connection is still hanging on.

The main thing is not to think of food as good food and bad food. It's all good. It's how much you eat of it, i used to be overweight, and I had that in my mind, if I ate a cookie, that was bad and now the day is ruined, instead of just,' that's cool.'.

When I would create any product, if I put it out as a sample to my staff and if I didn't watch them unconsciously go back and take some more, then I felt it wasn't good enough. There's a lot of good, but I didn't want good. I wanted that addictive thing.
