I looked on child rearing not only as a work of love and duty but as a profession that was fully as interesting and challenging as any honorable profession in the world and one that demanded the best that I could bring to it.

I want to be perceived as a guy who played his best in all facets not just scoring. A guy who loved challenges.

Pastry is different from cooking because you have to consider the chemistry beauty and flavor. It's not just sugar and eggs thrown together. I tell my pastry chefs to be in tune for all of this. You have to be challenged by using secret or unusual ingredients.

I don't like people who have never fallen or stumbled. Their virtue is lifeless and it isn't of much value. Life hasn't revealed its beauty to them.

I have a Woody Allen Jewish attitude to life: that it's all going to be disastrous. That it hasn't all been that way is simply down to some random quirk of fate.

The problem was just a mean attitude that festers and has to be challenged.

My father instilled in me the attitude of prevailing. If there's a challenge go for it. If there's a wall to break down break it down.

If you have a positive attitude and constantly strive to give your best effort eventually you will overcome your immediate problems and find you are ready for greater challenges.

The biggest challenge is how to affect public attitudes and make people care.

The art challenges the technology and the technology inspires the art.
