Never complain and never explain.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
I can, therefore I am.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
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.
