1 Age

  • 1. It is not by the gray of the hair that one knows the age of the heart.
  • 2. You hit a certain age and – especially because of TV – the young cooks coming up say 'You're a sellout because you're doing something other than what you should be doing.' 'Top Chef' is a double-edged sword for me: There's a whole group of people who will not come to the restaurants because they assume I'm not in them anymore all I do is TV.
  • 3. When marrying ask yourself this question: Do you believe that you will be able to converse well with this person into your old age? Everything else in marriage is transitory.

2 Amazing

  • 1. It is pretty amazing. My parents who came from Nicaragua to the U.S. – who would have thought that they would have American kids on the Olympic team? I think that's the epitome of the Olympic dream.
  • 2. My grandfather was one of the most amazing Baptist ministers in history he was unbelievable. He was one of the most amazing men – the most amazing man that I ever met… He lived an amazing life.
  • 3. Isn't it amazing how celebrity status preempts even the most ingrained hatreds?

3 Anger

  • 1. Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.
  • 2. I'm an angry person angrier than most people would imagine I get flashes of anger. What works for me is working out when it's useful to use that anger.
  • 3. My humour has always come from anger but I have to make sure I don't just get angry and jump on a soapbox.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. Marriage is an act of will that signifies and involves a mutual gift which unites the spouses and binds them to their eventual souls with whom they make up a sole family – a domestic church.
  • 2. Presently the Commission for Commemorating 350 Years of American Jewish History has been brought about to encourage and sponsor a variety of historical activities that advance our understanding of the American Jewish experience as it marks this milestone anniversary.
  • 3. My mother and stepfather were married 43 years so I have watched a long marriage. I feel like I had a very good role model for that. And you know it's just a number.

5 Architecture

  • 1. No architect troubled to design houses that suited people who were to live in them because that would have meant building a whole range of different houses. It was far cheaper and above all timesaving to make them identical.
  • 2. That Moorish architecture is all over the place of course. It affects me everywhere I see it as it does so many people. But Brand Library was a special place to me and I know I've paid homage to it many times in my drawings.
  • 3. Those who look for the laws of Nature as a support for their new works collaborate with the creator.
