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

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

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

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.

Soy sauce is really a multi-purpose seasoning.

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

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