When I'm on the road, I wake up early and walk a lot. I'm very healthy. But when I come back home, I am more tempted by guilty pleasures, such as eating too many sweets and sleeping a lot.

I'm not making art, I'm making sushi

Ramen is a dish that's very high in calories and sodium. One way to make it slightly healthier is to leave the soup and just eat the noodles.

Cook more often. Don't study; just cook.

I'm not a fighter, but in my mind I'm fighting every day. 'What's new? What am I doing?' I'm fighting myself. My soul is samurai. My roots aren't samurai, but my soul is.

New York is my, you know, second hometown.

Japanese chefs believe our soul goes into our knives once we start using them. You wouldn't put your soul in a dishwasher!

A lot of people think Japanese food is difficult, a lot of work. But you don't have to buy the knife I have. You don't have to train as long as I have. You can do my cooking in your kitchen.

No rules. Don't be afraid to do whatever you want. Cooking doesn't have to have rules. I don't like it that way.

A kitchen without a knife is not a kitchen.

Just ask the local people for the best food. Don't rely on a guidebook.

If the shoe doesn't fit - break it!

In the realm of faith, there is no fear.

You are the winner and the sole owner of my heart.Love u zakiya

We have new developing ties with Japan whom always supports our democratic process and economic development.

Many people associate stage fright with a fear of looking ridiculous, making a bad impression. For me, it's like a kind of fever.

You lose the world for a glance? Of course you do. That is what the world is for: to lose under the right circunstances.

Anger simply shows that something in you is hurt, some wound is there.

Gratitude: An imaginary emotion that rewards an imaginary behavior, altruism. Both imaginaries are false faces for selfishness, which is a real and honest emotion.

Bailing out people who made ill-advised mortgages makes no more sense that bailing out people who lost their life savings in Las Vegas casinos.

Under the pavement the dirt is dreaming of grass.
