Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Who seeks shall find.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
You never know what motivates you.
My contribution I hope is to get people to eat full-flavored food. If I could come away with that alone, that would be a fantastic accomplishment. I'm also very proud of being a very American chef.
