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.

I normally don't eat junk food.

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

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

I can represent my culture while helping not only the Chinese-American community, but also the community at large.

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.

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.
