The one thing I always talk about in terms of restaurants is consistency.

I think that's what we love about the vodka, is that it's consistent. It's consistent in its pureness and that's how I tie it to restaurants.

'What's the difference between sex and love?' Hmm. That's a good question. Hey, you interviewed Al Pacino. How'd he answer that?'

I never walk into a place I don't know how to walk out of.

Italy has changed. But Rome is Rome.

Even I like to go to certain restaurants and places where you have to wear a jacket, a suit and a tie, and I like that sort of old world style. I am sure it will come back in many ways, if it hasn't already. It's kind of nice and it breaks it up.

Better to be king for a night than a schmuck for a lifetime.
