California is lucky, the East Coast is lucky because we get great seafood and a lot of produce from Florida, locally in good weather, but in the winter we have to buy it.

The importance of reading, for me, is that it allows you to dream.

America is a such a melting pot, I'm not sure if roast chicken is the classic comfort food for everybody.

For me, food is about memories, feelings, emotions, and so is Le Bernardin, and that's why it's not just a restaurant.

In a professional kitchen, the idea is to have your cooks not moving much while theyre cooking. You want them to stay in the same spot.

My New Year's resolution is to cut my diet sodas down to two cans a day!

I love garlic, and I use it often.

I don't like it when I go to a restaurant and I'm lectured from the menu.

If I go to a nightclub, even if the music is good, if the sound system is not, I don't stay.

Obviously California is fantastic in terms of produce, vegetables.

Well, cooking starts with shopping. If the ingredients are not good, you don't do it. Just change your mind and do something else.

Time cures you first, and then it kills you.

I love the sacred moment.

We live in a world that has walls and those walls need to be guarded by men with guns.

A person has to be by himself a little bit. We weren’t born in a flock. Togetherness drives me out of my mind.

I have to admit that I am really partial to the look and feel of a book. I have been that way my entire life.

Go out and have fun. Golf is a game for everyone, not just for the talented few.

For my scale, how I grew up and live my life, I'm making plenty of money.

Men enjoy being thought of as hunters, but are generally too lazy to hunt. Women, on the other hand, love to hunt, but would rather nobody knew it.

I think that's a result of just a general increase in speed of the vibration of life itself.

He also knows the power of word.
