With sushi, it is all about balance. Sometimes they cut the fish too thick, sometimes too thin. Often the rice is overcooked or undercooked. Not enough rice vinegar or too much.

Sushi is something very exclusive. It is not like a McDonald's, not like a hot dog, not like a French fry. It's very high-class cooking in Japan.

A sushi chef has to spot the best-quality fresh fish instantly.

I don't eat sushi, but I eat cooked meat.

Sushi is one of my favorite foods.

I've been making sushi for 38 years, and I'm still learning. You have to consider the size and color of the ingredients, how much salt and vinegar to use and how the seasons affect the fattiness of the fish.

I love sushi. But after too much of it, it just starts to taste like a dead animal that hasn't been cooked.

The fine art of preparing sushi is something that you watch and learn.

I've actually always been a big fan of seafood. Sushi is one my favorite things.

I have to say, sushi freaks me out more than almost anything.
