When you have a good stock, you can make a good soup.

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

Soy sauce is really a multi-purpose seasoning.

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.

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

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

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.
