Now everybody thinks that once you do Top Chef, then 13 weeks later you're a chef. Nobody wants to learn to cook anymore.

It is going to have healthy food and exercise mixed together. With smaller portions, and more exercise, you live a better life.

I think it's really important to keep on staying motivated.

Young people want to be famous before they know how to cook, before they know how to treat people, before they know what hospitality means. I stayed in France for seven years and Austria for three, so before I was a chef anywhere I was already cooking for 10 years.

A lot of chefs are traditional and do it very well. But the ones who are the most successful are the ones who change things. That is why someone like Heston Blumenthal is a genius.

I have two young boys, and my wife is at home. Most of the time, I will cook the food, and we'll eat together.

When I was 27, if I didn't put 15 things in one dish I wasn't happy.
