I really like oysters, and I won't eat them alone. They're just a weird thing to eat by yourself.

Some feel as though the world is their oyster; others feel as though they were the oyster itself, plucked from the ocean, cracked open, and robbed of all that is precious to them.

I'm a firm believer that the world should be your oyster when you're cooking. People should open themselves to other cuisines - there are a lot of hidden secrets all over the world.

In the United States, there one feels free... Except from the Americans - but every pearl has its oyster.

I had rather be an oyster than a man, the most stupid and senseless of animals.

It's important that your shucked oyster is clean and pristine.

Get action. Seize the moment. Man was never intended to become an oyster.

The life of man is of no greater importance to the universe than that of an oyster.

I'm not crazy about oysters and offal and brains and stuff like that. It's vegetables that I really like. I worked in the River Cafe restaurant when it first opened, and I used to eat the leftover vegetables on the plates. They were so delicious.
