There are many times in my life, when I could've thrown in the towel. Many times in my life when I was on the floor. And when you're on the floor, never allow anybody to pick you up. It doesn't matter how long you stay there, make sure you pick yourself up and dust yourself down. Whatever happens, whether you go home today or you don't go home today, that's irrelevant. What's relevant, is you take the knowledge from the experience and you grow as a person.

I'm not a worrier. I like sleeping.

Mother Nature is the true artist and our job as cooks is to allow her to shine.

I find supermarkets fascinating places. It's extraordinary, you can buy anything there.

If you are not extreme, then people will take shortcuts because they don't fear you.

I have no regrets in my life. If not for the mistakes that I made I would not be the man I am today.

At the end of the day it's just food, isn't it? Just food.
