Money is not necessarily, although it helps a lot for happiness, it’s not necessarily the best way to be happy, to be rich, you know.

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

Well, cooking starts with shopping. If the ingredients are not good, you don't do it. Just change your mind and do something else.

I have more eating memories than cooking memories and many memories of being in the kitchen - I was always attracted to the kitchen - but nobody ever wanted me to touch anything.

For me, food is about memories, feelings, emotions, and so is Le Bernardin, and that's why it's not just a restaurant.

I don't follow the food trends.
