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

You can do almost anything with soup stock, it's like a strong foundation. When you have the right foundation, everything tastes good.

People who don't travel cannot have a global view, all they see is what's in front of them. Those people cannot accept new things because all they know is where they live.

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.

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.

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.

A lot of people don't enjoy their job, they may even hate it, but I am lucky enough to be able to make a living through my passion.
