Friends are really important, especially when you've had the successes that I've had. I've gone really far in my career, so they're the ones that keep you humble, keep your feet on the ground.

When a customer receives a dish, they get food and design at the same time.

I am not a multimillionaire. I dont own a yacht or a Ferrari. I live in a 60-square- metre flat. My needs are simple.

If I don't have pressure, I don't function.

Creativity means not copying.

I cant live without activity; I cant be sedentary.

I don't do my mother's cooking. Because I am a professional and she isn't. Even if she is a better cook.
