The more chaos there is, the more science holds on to abstract systems of control, and the more chaos is engendered.

My mother would never let me in the kitchen. I always wanted to cook, but I was never allowed to. Her view of the world was, 'Cooking is my job, and studying is your job.' I think, in retrospect, she didn't like the chaos. She was very orderly. It had to be her way.

I have great belief in the fact that whenever there is chaos, it creates wonderful thinking. I consider chaos a gift.

Chaos is the score upon which reality is written.

The kitchen's a laboratory, and everything that happens there has to do with science. It's biology, chemistry, physics. Yes, there's history. Yes, there's artistry. Yes, to all of that. But what happened there, what actually happens to the food is all science.

Chaos was the law of nature; Order was the dream of man.

You get to a point where the kind of beautiful chaos can't really fuel your creative existence any longer because it's not stable, however amazing and exciting it may be.

Chaos is a name for any order that produces confusion in our minds.
