It's hard to be serious in life.

There are certain things that make restaurants work and a certain kind of DNA that people who excel in restaurants need. But it's a lot like life, in the sense that you get out of it what you put into it.

I haven't had to do anything outside of show business my whole life. I've never been a waiter. I've only worked and gotten paid. It hasn't been a classic example of someone slogging through the business.

Dining should be something that isn't always taken extremely seriously.

I definitely had fun being a waiter. I can't say for sure that I was a good waiter. I think that I made people have a good time.

When I was a waiter, I wanted to be the best waiter I could be and worked to be better at it every day.

Life is too short not to do a little practical joking.

I've never had to get a job as a waiter or anything. I've always been able to support myself in 'the biz.' Which is great. It's really fantastic to be able to say that, because I know it's hard to do.

How someone treats a waiter or doorman can tell you so much about a person.
