There's a layer of satisfaction that I get from cooking that is more than the work itself. I think when you're too competitive sometimes you can lose the joy of what you do.

We [chefs] are competitive, although I think you need to be careful with competitiveness as it can become quite negative.

Come, dear children, let us away; Down and away below!

Whatever happens, just keep smiling and lose yourself in Love.

The worst thing about getting old is evil men cease to fear you

You are never more than a half-step away from a right note.

Translation is like a woman. If it is beautiful, it is not faithful. If it is faithful, it is most certainly not beautiful.
