How many chefs when I was a young boy shouted at me during service? All I ever said was "Yes, chef." The customer is the most important. If the chef overreacts, fine. At the end of service, you apologize.

Once you grow up and discover yourself as a human being you look at things for what they are.

A lot of my reputation is a product of exaggeration and ignorance.

A tree without roots is just a piece of wood.

I've paid my price, a high price, I watched my mother die. I look at everything I've been given now as a form of compensation. A person who has regrets is a person who casts anchors.

Do I shout, belittle or swear? No. I have sufficient confidence within myself to control my environment just by my presence, just by working hard and leading from the front.

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