I've never been a competition guy.

Every meal should end with something sweet. Maybe it's jelly on toast at breakfast, or a small piece of chocolate at dinner - but it always helps my brain bring a close to the meal.

I always worked in institutions, I never had a restaurant of my own before, but I have opened over 30 hotels, restaurants and casinos. I understand what it takes to keep them running.

Food is culture, and we need to listen to it.

The sharing of food is like breaking bread, it's very symbolic.

The military taught me discipline, how to problem solve, teamwork and loyalty, a perfect parallel to the kitchen. If we could take that and bottle it, it would be a amazing thing.

America was built on immigrants, and what they bring 'to the table.'

I travel 330 days a year and eat every two and a half hours - I'm a big guy. I always carry a fork, little bottles of spices, and Sriracha. I eat what I feel like eating.

Ethics is the triumph of freedom over facticity.

Clearly romantic comedy is my franchise genre, I don't mind saying that, it's true. I love doing them and hopefully always will do them.

The blade itself incites to deeds of violence.

Hope awakens courage. He who can implant courage in the human soul is the best physician.

I've been very lucky not to have turned down too many roles that I've later regretted.

For better or worse, the United States enjoys the lion's share of public and media attention. We influence much of the conversation on social and public media by sheer volume.
