I always say that I don't believe I'm a chef. I try to be a storyteller.

I don't like food that's too carefully arranged; it makes me think that the chef is spending too much time arranging and not enough time cooking. If I wanted a picture I'd buy a painting.

I'm a normal guy. I'm not a chef.

I realized I didn't want to be a photographer. I gave it up, but I still worked that job in the restaurant and I found myself constantly hanging out in the kitchen.

First of all, I can't really claim to be a great chef.

My father was a chef but hadn't owned his own business. I didn't like that. In my heart of hearts, I knew I wanted to be in business.

I had no desire to be a chef, but I had a desire to be someone who was heard.

I was actually going to be a chef before I got sidetracked. I used to make deserts for restaurants as a young teenage mother to make money.

I wasn't that great a chef, and I don't think I'm that great a writer.
