Mother Nature is not sweet.

I've never been interested in things that sparkle and shine; I'm more interested in people.

I'm not interested in the limelight.

Nothing is pleasant that is not spiced with variety.

There's no common taste in this world.

Sweetness is the opposite of machismo, which is everywhere - and I really don't get on with machismo. I'm interested in sensitivity and weakness and fear and anxiety because I think that, at the end of the day, behind our masks, that's what we are.

I dislike cloyingly sweet desserts - sweet is not a flavor - so I suggest dialing back the sweetness and focusing on what the dessert is about, whether it is a ripe fruit, chocolate, etc.

I was not given to looking at life in a rosy light.

Nothing's so dainty sweet as lovely melancholy.

I was never interested in making cool, distilled, pure objects.
