Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Who seeks shall find.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
I can, therefore I am.
You never know what motivates you.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Know or listen to those who know.
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.
