I appreciate the constant evolution in refining food, but not in making food gimmicky.

Kitchens should be designed around what's truly important-fun, food, and life.

Remember, it is never the knife's fault.

Young chefs, famous chefs, home cooks, and everyone who loves food and cooking-we all depend on Larousse Gastronomique. It is the only culinary encyclopedia that is always up-to-date.

For me, the food I like to make is the food I can enjoy all the time anytime. Its not too calculated or technical.

I have real admiration for chefs who can maintain an edge and find new inspiration in their cooking after many years.

Boning is a pain, but it makes such a majestic chicken.

I learned from my grandmother, because we were cooking a lot for the farm. Breakfast, lunch, dinner.

A lot of young chefs today get carried away by trends, by influences, by movements.

From Japan to Thailand, I keep discovering amazing talent, cuisine and food markets.

If you aren't born here, to be a real New Yorker, you have to bring your talent, be a successful mentor, and support the New Yorkers who made the city by giving back.

Gods don't like people not doing much work. People who aren't busy all the time might start to think.

The only service to be done for our downtrodden sisters and brother, is to give them education to develop their individuality. We must give them ideas, alongside cultivating their living conditions.

Religion works on some people but not on everyone, because it says, 'Stop thinking and accept what I tell you.' That's not valid for people who want to think and reflect.

I'm a tomboy. I ride motorcycles, I play polo. I was on a paintball team when I was younger. Endlessly.

Life's wildest moment---she kneels on the sidewalk. Everything else she does is lies, lies.

Granted, terrorism is a real problem everywhere. But you can't prevent it. Terrorists are nutcases who are hellbent on killing people for ideology. That's pretty hard to stop.

People are so brainwashed by the rules that they don't know what really matters.

People in this world look at things mistakenly, and think that what they do not understand must be the void. This is not the true void. It is bewilderment.

Usually when I ask people to reach into my velvety pouch it means something different.

It doesn't really matter how fast you're going if you're heading in the wrong direction.
