I tell anyone who will listen to me: On a cruise, you can be with all these people, or you can be by yourself. You can find tranquility, you can find party, you can find new friends. I'm a cruise convert.

You can find tranquility, you can find party, you can find new friends. I'm a cruise convert.

I'm not exactly a guy who makes new friends easily.

I always tell my family - and they laugh about it - but someday, I will write a vegetarian book. My cousin, who's a big vegetarian, tells me flat out, 'You're my favorite vegetarian chef.'

You have to be confident in who you are and what you're doing. Of course, you try to evolve. I would never tell you, 'Today is the best I will ever be.' I'm always trying to be a better chef, a better dad, a better person.

I don't have friends, and it's hard for me to make new friends. Right now, the people that are in my life are the people that I work with.
