I'm not trying to take New York by storm. I just want to sneak in there, keep my head down, batten down the hatches and cook.

When you're a chef, you graze. You never get a chance to sit down and eat. They don't actually sit down and eat before you cook. So when I finish work, the first thing I'll do, and especially when I'm in New York, I'll go for a run. And I'll run 10 or 15k on my - and I run to gain my appetite.

Living in New York City, you have to keep trying to do a lot of things.

The people in New York want to achieve something; the people in L.A., they just want to achieve success.

I want to be the most eligible bachelor in New York City.

All I really want to do is plays - and that's a New York thing.
