I don't follow the food trends.

I love eggs. When it's the season of truffles, scrambled eggs with truffles, and I'm happy. I'm smiling like that.

If I go to a nightclub, even if the music is good, if the sound system is not, I don't stay.

Obviously California is fantastic in terms of produce, vegetables.

The importance of reading, for me, is that it allows you to dream.

When I was twelve, I decided to become a chef. I stole a book from the library about the greatest restaurants in France. I'd flip the pages and dream. I should return that book to the library some day.

I had a passion for cooking, and I was a very bad student.
