I am just a normal professional with a great job and a great life.
When you have a good stock, you can make a good soup.
I remember when I was in college, I used to watch Julia Child's cooking show during dinner and joke with my roommates about becoming a TV chef.
I also have a lot of preserved foods, things that will keep for a long time like dried fish, seaweed or lotus seed.
I've never considered myself a celebrity or even part of the entertainment business. I'm a cooking teacher.
Because normally with Western cuisine, you'll serve vegetables separate from the meat, so kids will eat the meat and never touch the vegetables.
The problem with a lot of Chinese is that they put up divisions between Taiwanese, Hong Kong natives, mainlanders. We are never united. I really hope that the Chinese can be more united.
First of all, I can't really claim to be a great chef.
A lot of people don't enjoy their job, they may even hate it, but I am lucky enough to be able to make a living through my passion.
Why is America such a great country. It is because we stand united.
I think being famous is more of a hindrance, a constraint, than just letting yourself be free.
When I retire or pass away, I will be able to look back and say that this has been an exciting life. That's all that matters.
