Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Always desire to learn something useful.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
It's always too early to quit.
Wherever you are - be all there.
You never know what motivates you.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Only the educated are free.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
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.
