Modeling for me was not fulfilling. I didn't see the point - although I was able to travel a great deal. I lived in Italy Germany and Spain but I wasn't devoted to it.

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.

And it is because a series of elements in Spanish life which operate today the same way as they did in the times of Blanco White made obvious my relationship with him based on a similarity in Spain's condition.

I've been working at performing for five years now. I've been working in Australia and Spain and England. When I was only 15 or 16 1 was performing in bars I could have had legal problems but it's also the only way to get to know what music is all about.

In Spain we should have enough intelligence enough sense of individual and collective responsibility to do for ourselves that which would be imposed upon us by a dictatorship.

I am not quite sure where home is right now. I do have places in London and Milan and a house in Spain. I guess I would say home is where my mother is and she lives in Spain.

I loved everything about Spain - the people the language and the food!

Creole is New Orleans city food. Communities were created by the people who wanted to stay and not go back to Spain or France.

There are pockets of great food in Spain but there are also pockets of very mediocre food in Spain and the same in Morocco and the same in Croatia and the same in Germany and the same in Austria.

Spain is finding it very difficult to finance itself with sovereign debt risk premium so high.
