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.

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.

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 live a very low-key life.

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

I think a lot of times it's not money that's the primary motivation factor; it's the passion for your job and the professional and personal satisfaction that you get out of doing what you do that motivates you.
