I'd like for people to be able to go to the universities and get a degree in fine arts-gastronomy.

In the 1960s, you could eat anything you wanted, and of course, people were smoking cigarettes and all kinds of things, and there was no talk about fat and anything like that, and butter and cream were rife. Those were lovely days for gastronomy, I must say.

Remember, you are all alone in the kitchen and no one can see you.

I'm very much for making everything safe. The more natural the means we use to raise our vegetables and get rid of bugs, the better.

Find something you're passionate about and keep tremendously interested in it.

There are only four great arts: music, painting, sculpture, and ornamental pastry- architecture being perhaps the least banal derivative of the latter.

It's a shame to be caught up in something that doesn't absolutely make you tremble with joy.
