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 am very much enjoying the fatherhood phase of my life.

I make friends faster and easier than journalists.

I'm not trying to explain other cultures, or to give a fair and balanced account of a country, or the top ten things you need to know. I'm not trying to spread world peace and understanding. I'm not an advocate or an activist or an educator or a journalist. I'm out there trying to tell stories the best I can.

We learn as professionals by repetition, by getting it wrong, getting yelled at and doing it again.

Food is so personal - I mean someone is talking to you when people are cooking for you. I like to hear an identifiable voice.

All of these concoctions that we think are Mexican, are in no way reflective of the deep, incredibly old, complex and sophisticated deep regional cuisine of Mexico. Or the new modern Mexican cuisine, which has really been exploding over the last few years. I think we just have a completely misrepresented view of how good, how complex these flavors are. I think we could learn a lot more. It's a great cuisine that's really moving forward, faster than any other.
