Kitchens should be designed around what's truly important-fun, food, and life.

Remember, it is never the knife's fault.

Young chefs, famous chefs, home cooks, and everyone who loves food and cooking-we all depend on Larousse Gastronomique. It is the only culinary encyclopedia that is always up-to-date.

For me, the food I like to make is the food I can enjoy all the time anytime. Its not too calculated or technical.

I have real admiration for chefs who can maintain an edge and find new inspiration in their cooking after many years.

Boning is a pain, but it makes such a majestic chicken.

I learned from my grandmother, because we were cooking a lot for the farm. Breakfast, lunch, dinner.

A lot of young chefs today get carried away by trends, by influences, by movements.

From Japan to Thailand, I keep discovering amazing talent, cuisine and food markets.

If you aren't born here, to be a real New Yorker, you have to bring your talent, be a successful mentor, and support the New Yorkers who made the city by giving back.

I appreciate the constant evolution in refining food, but not in making food gimmicky.

Opinion is usually something which people have when they lack comprehensive information.

Lord if you can't make me thin - can you make all my friends fat?

Just like Tim Robbins is very political - and obviously, Arnold Schwarzenegger must be - I want to be able to have this public personality that's considered authoritative.

The heart may think it knows better: the senses know that absence blots people out. We really have no absent friends.

Mastery of language affords remarkable power.

If there is hope, it lies in the proles.

Dance is so important in the world. It needs no language. Our bodies speak a language of its own.

I always say "if you are afraid of them (the unborn), give them to me. Please, don't kill them."

A human life is just a heartbeat in heaven.

I told our guys they must not have cable because Antoine Walker knows how to play, Derek Anderson can play, Shandon Anderson knows how to play, and Gary Payton knows how play.
