The type of cuisine I do especially after being on 'Iron Chef' for several years is a lot of global cuisine. My strength has always been Mediterranean cuisine across the board from Morocco Spain Italy Greece France but I think now I'm doing a lot of very different cuisines all the time.

I think that we had a different view of what the 21st century could be like with much more of a sense from our perspective of trying to have an interdependent world: looking at solving regional conflicts having strength in alliances operating within some kind of a sense that we were part of the international community and not outside of it.

Don't be intimidated by what you don't know. That can be your greatest strength and ensure that you do things differently from everyone else.

America's strength is not our diversity our strength is our ability to unite people of different backgrounds around common principles. A common language is necessary to reach that goal.

I know there is strength in the differences between us. I know there is comfort where we overlap.

When I use my strength in the service of my vision it makes no difference whether or not I am afraid.

I pick projects according to how fascinating they are to me and it has resulted in a broad reach. My records are actually in five different sports: balloons airplanes airships gliders and sailboats.

I used to play football at school and I enjoyed really physical sports but I now try to avoid any sports that might build up different muscles. That might have a negative impact on my archery.

I'm a father of four so whenever I'm not working my kids have their different sports or plays or school performances so I don't do a whole lot of other stuff besides being a dad.

When you're a kid growing up and you think you're gay you know that you're different you're often teased and it can really destroy your self-esteem. But sports can be great for building self-esteem.
