You never forget a beautiful thing that you have made. Even after you eat it, it stays with you - always.

the more experience you have, the more interesting cooking is because you know what can happen to the food. In the beginning you can look at a chicken and it doesn't mean much, but once you have done some cooking you can see in that chicken a parade of things you will be able to create.

The only time to eat diet food is while you're waiting for the steak to cook.

Upon reflection, I decided I had three main weaknesses: I was confused (evidenced by a lack of facts, an inability to coordinate my thoughts, and an inability to verbalize my ideas); I had a lack of confidence, which cause me to back down from forcefully stated positions; and I was overly emotional at the expense of careful, 'scientific' though. I was thirty-seven years old and still discovering who I was.

My father was in real estate, banking, and land management. As family life, it was very conventional, happy, and comfortable. We weren't wealthy, but we were well-off.

I think the inner person is the most important.... I would like to see an invention that keeps the mind alert. That's what is important.

It's fun to get together and have something good to eat at least once a day. That's what human life is all about - enjoying things.
