You can't have a decent food culture without a decent coffee culture: the two things grow up together.

I take a cooking class everywhere I travel. I find it's the best way to get to know a culture.

I am one with the popular culture.

I think one day I can make a book about coffee shops in Hong Kong. I spent almost most of my time in coffee shops, in different coffee shops.

A culture, we all know, is made by its cities.

Like most of the world's population I'm into coffee, but in a properly big and important way. My perfect weekend would start with a pint of coffee.

Every community has its own specialty and it's not just for clothing obviously, but for the home, etc.

I'm a traditionalist, so for me, black coffee is cool.

I've got tremendous respect for different cultures, for the food and everything.

Our culture runs on coffee and gasoline, the first often tasting like the second.
