Well, you know, if you get into the profession because you think you can make a lot of money, you can never become successful.

Some people never contribute anything positive to society, they may even drain our resources, but most of us try to do something better, to give back.

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

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

First of all, I can't really claim to be a great chef.

I also have a lot of preserved foods, things that will keep for a long time like dried fish, seaweed or lotus seed.
