Cooking, I mean, food, cooking foods is just everything that I do from morning to night. It's how I choose to live my life: through cooking, people that are in food culture. And I love it.

Chefs have a new opportunity - and perhaps even an obligation - to inform the public about what is good to eat, and why.

Scandinavian-Danish cuisine was something quite rustic, mostly known for pastries and smorgasbord cuisine, which in itself has become a joke.

My last meal on Earth, I would love it to be a bowl of blueberries with cold cream.

People will travel anywhere for good food - it's crazy.

Take a trip to the forest and experience the greatness of getting on your knees and picking your own food and going home... and eating it.

There is no conflict between a better meal and a better world.

If you see someone in the kitchen that has good hands and a quick brain, then you need that person to be in the front of everything.

When you get close to the raw materials and taste them at the moment they let go of the soil, you learn to respect them.

You have freedom when you're easy in your harness.

I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.

We need to have a strong economy that can create employment opportunities and that can also produce the revenue that we need to defend our country at home and abroad.

There's always this kind of odd idea that people would say, "Oh, do you know the Queen?" But really people are much smarter than that.

When I can't see myself in the mirror, I can't even feel myself, and I begin to wonder if I exist at all.

When I started out. I'd drive a hundred miles to do my act for free.

The best laughs are on the recognition of truth.

The Jesus of the Gospels is surely not convenient for us.

I was struck all on a heap.

The first step in achieving prosperity and wealth is learning to appreciate what you already have.
