I'm at my most productive before I even have my first cup of coffee. I only get slower and stupider as the day progresses.

I wanted it to look like real cooking in someone's real home or just so out-of-there bizarre that it would be fun.

Hong Kong is a wonderful, mixed-up town where you've got great food and adventure. First and foremost, it's a great place to experience China in a relatively accessible way.

Food is everything we are. It's an extension of nationalist feeling, ethnic feeling, your personal history, your province, your region, your tribe, your grandma. It's inseparable from those from the get-go.

It's very rarely a good career move to have a conscience.

I’m always secretly the most pleased when a show just really, really looks good and when my camera guys are really happy with the images they got.

I'm not going to get off the pony as long as they let me ride it.
