  • 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 I was at school I was in choirs more than anything else from a very young age about 9 years old. And then I started taking drum lessons.

4 Anniversary

That's how she found out what happened on the day my father died – she went looking for him because that morning there was no rose.
  • 2. Experts on romance say for a happy marriage there has to be more than a passionate love. For a lasting union they insist there must be a genuine liking for each other. Which in my book is a good definition for friendship.
  • 3. More marriages might survive if the partners realized that sometimes the better comes after the worse.

5 Architecture
