The only thing that counts is if you know how to prepare your ingredients. Even if with the best and freshest ingredients in the world, if your dish is tasteless or burnt, it's ruined.

In general I love to eat anything. I enjoy anything that is well prepared, a good spaghetti, lasagna, taco, steak, sushi, refried beans.

I don't like to waste anything. Any food left over from the night before is always eaten the next day.

If I could only have one type of food with me, I would bring soy sauce. The reason being that if I have soy sauce, I can flavor a lot of things.

At thirteen, when I arrived in Hong Kong after leaving China, I made a living by working in a restaurant.

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

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