Anyone that has come to America past the age of eighteen will be able to understand when I say that you can never shake your accent.

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

I think being famous is more of a hindrance, a constraint, than just letting yourself be free.

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

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

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