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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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