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

I have a lot of cooking tools. In fact I have a whole drawer full of knives. Cooking tools, especially cutlery, are my toys.

I've never considered myself a celebrity or even part of the entertainment business. I'm a cooking teacher.

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.

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 am just a normal professional with a great job and a great life.
