As long as the food is well prepared and not overdone, I think it tastes good. It doesn't matter if it's Chinese, Japanese, anything.

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

A lot of people don't enjoy their job, they may even hate it, but I am lucky enough to be able to make a living through my passion.

You don't have to show people how successful you are.

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.

When I retire or pass away, I will be able to look back and say that this has been an exciting life. That's all that matters.

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.
