People who can give themselves every day. They're the people that I admire, they're real people.

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

Once you accept you are being judged by people who have less knowledge than yourself, then what's it worth?

The more I invested in myself, the kinder I was to myself and the more I understood myself.

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

I don't do social events, I don't do award ceremonies, I don't do charity dinners. I live my life off-radar.

I can't imagine anything worse than trying to impress a girl with dinner. To be honest, I'm always impressing myself, not other people.
