I learned how to handle myself in the kitchen - where to stand and how to be out of people's way and how to function like a machine.

I started cooking from watching my mom. My mother was a really, really great cook.

I wanted to learn everything I could about what it takes to be a great chef. It was a turning point for me.

I've been a cook all my life, but I am still learning to be a good chef. I'm always learning new techniques and improving beyond my own knowledge because there is always something new to learn and new horizons to discover.

I love to cook. My mom taught me to cook at a very, very young age.

I was a very good cook, and I knew I could build a business.

I always knew I wanted to be a chef.

I went to school for culinary arts. I love to cook. That's a talent not a lot of people know about.

I learned how to lend money by cleaning up the messes of others who had made loans before me.

My love for cooking began when I was young. Because my parents were in the army, they were both really busy. A lot of times I'd have to cook for the family; I'd rotate with my siblings. It started out as a chore, but as I got older, my mom started to see that I was really good at it. I became her sous chef.
