I've never considered myself a celebrity or even part of the entertainment business. I'm a cooking teacher.

In general I love to eat anything. I enjoy anything that is well prepared, a good spaghetti, lasagna, taco, steak, sushi, refried beans.

I have a lot of cooking tools. In fact I have a whole drawer full of knives. Cooking tools, especially cutlery, are my toys.

Chinese culture has a lot of virtues that are tremendously valuable to not only us as Asian-Americans, but also the world in general.

People who don't travel cannot have a global view, all they see is what's in front of them. Those people cannot accept new things because all they know is where they live.

Why is America such a great country. It is because we stand united.

So when I do Chinese cooking, I mix everything together, then the kids have to eat their vegetables. They won't have the patience to pick them out.

You can do almost anything with soup stock, it's like a strong foundation. When you have the right foundation, everything tastes good.

Happiness is within. It has nothing to do with how much applause you get or how many people praise you. Happiness comes when you believe that you have done something truly meaningful.

If I could only have one type of food with me, I would bring soy sauce. The reason being that if I have soy sauce, I can flavor a lot of things.

I live a very low-key life.

He was a man built to yearn for what he could not have.

The poor commit villainies because they are poor or because they have no alternative employment. But the rich do them in order to enjoy themselves more or to earn more money.

The worst part of writing is meeting all these great new characters and having no one to talk about (the adventures you share with) them.

The only way to motivate people is to live a motivated life in front of them

I would make a horrible politician, because I wouldn't enjoy my work.

There would be a trial and there would be a judge. The only problem was, there could only be one sentence.

There has yet to be a human to survive a span of history without at least one end of the world.

Correct becomes defect. Good becomes ominous. People's delusions have certainly lasted long.

Even the kinds of ingredients you can find in your own kitchen can be used to make bombs. So the problem is with the people and not with the tools.

After life's fitful fever he sleeps well. Treason has done his worst. Nor steel nor poison, malice domestic, foreign levy, nothing can touch him further.
