I'm not looking to freak people out - eating rodents or bugs. I don't do that anymore.
Being on television, being recognizable, this is unnatural.
I didn't want food that looked unapproachable or ridiculously beautiful.
When I'm back in New York - and this is a terrible thing to complain about - I eat a lot more really, really good food than perhaps I'd like to. So many of my friends are really good chefs. It's kind of like being in the Mafia.
When do you stop to de-douche?
At the end of a dinner at my house, my kitchen sink is filled with dishes and there's nothing pretty about the garbage.
