I've never had anything but the freedom to do what I wanted just as long as it made me happy.

A gastronomical supermeal didn't necessarily have to involve the things I had brought from other top kitchens.

Scandinavian-Danish cuisine was something quite rustic, mostly known for pastries and smorgasbord cuisine, which in itself has become a joke.

That's how people make sense of a meeting: they eat something. If they were in a sad moment it would be the same thing, they'd be eating something. It's what makes life fun. We don't need it to be delicious or great or all these things if we're just to survive. But it's one of those things that makes life fun, livable. And the more I submerge myself in it, the more fun I seem to have.

The restaurant industry is brutal.

I never cooked at home - my father was the chef.

There is no conflict between a better meal and a better world.
