I'm not perfect. I am not Iron Man.

The fine art of preparing sushi is something that you watch and learn.

With sushi, it is all about balance. Sometimes they cut the fish too thick, sometimes too thin. Often the rice is overcooked or undercooked. Not enough rice vinegar or too much.

A different spice is the most interesting thing to me.

Any kind of vision needs people.

Businesses that run well are almost like marriages. Everything has to be up for discussion, or there will be real problems.

I like Mercedes because my wife has been in two big accidents and emerged without a scratch, thanks to the safety of these cars.

What I relish most is when a member of my staff, who has worked with passion and patience towards achieving their dream of owning a restaurant, walks up to me and says, 'Nobu! I have done it!'

Making sushi is an art, and experience is everything.

I travel all over the world, usually 10 months out of the year. I stay at a lot of hotels, and the ones I like best are clean and not complicated. You go to bed and say, 'Wow, I feel comfortable.'

I was so blissfully lost in her that I didn't have to fight time.

The mind grows by taking in, but the heart grows by giving out.

A garden should feel like a walk in the woods.

True solace is finding none, which is to say, it is everywhere.

The politics of courtiers resemble their shadows; they cringe and turn with the sun of the day.

Suppose that men kill thee, cut thee in pieces, curse thee, what can these things do to prevent thy mind from remaining pure, wise, sober, just?

True teachers are those who use themselves as bridges over which they invite their students to cross; then, having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create their own.

Things that happen, however painful they are at the time, do not matter very much for long. Only how we behave to them matters.
