Why is America such a great country. It is because we stand united.

Anyone that has come to America past the age of eighteen will be able to understand when I say that you can never shake your accent.

The hoopla, the applause, the praises have never excited me.

So when I do Chinese cooking, I mix everything together, then the kids have to eat their vegetables. They won't have the patience to pick them out.

The problem with a lot of Chinese is that they put up divisions between Taiwanese, Hong Kong natives, mainlanders. We are never united. I really hope that the Chinese can be more united.

I remember when I was in college, I used to watch Julia Child's cooking show during dinner and joke with my roommates about becoming a TV chef.

I think being famous is more of a hindrance, a constraint, than just letting yourself be free.
