There’s not one major greatest influence on my career. It would be film and great artists and great imagineers - Jim Henson, Walt Disney, Charlie Chaplin, people who understand the joy of the imagination.

I want to be a major force.

People who devote themselves to a life of style are admirable.

I have a garden, and I collect different heirloom seeds from different neighbors.

There is no reason for me to show my collection in New York, because it's not about craft and technique there.

I am a huge believer in social media.

I started cooking out of middle school depression.
