My life has had a lot of fun moments, but I tend to feel sadness more often.

A little more than kin, and less than kind.

Everything gone, we would all be dead if this had happened at night.

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.
