It's always too early to quit.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Well done is better than well said.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
I can, therefore I am.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Know or listen to those who know.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
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.
