I wasn’t that great a chef, and I don’t think I’m that great a writer.

Energy innovation is not a nationalistic game.

You know, from age 17 on, my paycheck was coming from cooking and working in kitchens.

The most important thing for a young man is to establish a credit… a reputation, character.

The radiation left over from the Big Bang is the same as that in your microwave oven but very much less powerful. It would heat your pizza only to minus 271.3*C – not much good for defrosting the pizza, let alone cooking it.

We don’t want people to leave the stadium until the game finishes.

When I was a young man, Dirac was my hero. He made a breakthrough, a new method of doing physics. He had the courage to simply guess at the form of an equation, the equation we now call the Dirac equation, and to try to interpret it afterwards.

The wild Indian power of escaping observation, even where there is little or no cover to hide in, was probably slowly acquired in hard hunting and fighting lessons while trying to approach game, take enemies by surprise, or get safely away when compelled to retreat.

Marriage is like a game of chess except the board is flowing water, the pieces are made of smoke and no move you make will have any effect on the outcome.

I entered the health care debate in response to a statement in the United States press in summer 2009 which claimed the National Health Service in Great Britain would have killed me off, were I a British citizen. I felt compelled to make a statement to explain the error.

Men like a ref decision because they just want to get back to the game.

Cooking certain dishes, like roast pork, reminds me of my mother.

Basketball is booming, and it’s not just an Under Armour standpoint: it’s about the game itself. Kids going out and playing and being inspired by what we do on the court.

The trouble with referees is that they know the rules, but they do not know the game.

I’m just wanting to make the proper breakfast and keep the house. That’s my passion. At the request of my kids, I’m taking cooking classes. As I go to sleep at night, I think, ‚Did I do a great job as a mom, or was that an average day?‘

My dinners at home are startlingly simple. Every night, I stop at the market near my hotel and pick up a steak, lamb chops or some liver, which I broil in the electric oven in my room. I usually eat four or five raw carrots with my meat, and that is all. I must be part rabbit; I never get bored with raw carrots.

I’m just someone who likes cooking and for whom sharing food is a form of expression.

Kitchens are hard environments and they form incredibly strong characters.

Eating is so intimate. It’s very sensual. When you invite someone to sit at your table and you want to cook for them, you’re inviting a person into your life.

My sisters like cooking at my place. It has a bit more room, and the food tastes a little bit better. A big pot of spaghetti and sauce, some warm French bread – works all the time. I think I’ve been eating pasta for 26 years.

A masterpiece is something said once and for all, stated, finished, so that it’s there complete in the mind, if only at the back.

I cook, I create, I’m incredibly excited by what I do, I’ve still got a lot to achieve.

I want my food dead. Not sick, not dying, dead.

Every chef I know, their cholesterol is through the roof. And mine’s not so great.

My mother cooked like a scientist. She had a giant Chinese-style cleaver that she chopped with, and a cupboard full of spices.

I have a son, who is my heart. A wonderful young man, daring and loving and strong and kind.
