“Most inexperienced cooks believe, mistakenly, that a fine cake is less challenging to produce than a fine souffle or mousse. I know, however, that a good cake is like a good marriage: from the outside, it looks ordinary, sometimes unremarkable, yet cut into it, taste it, and you know that it is nothing of the sort.

“Remember these six minutes for the rest of your lives. Listen to the crowd and take it all in. This is the stuff of dreams.”
“Whatever the fighting is - boxing, fighting, Judo, Thai boxing, it's how much you know doing that. Some people just know how some people move.”
“There are two freedoms - the false, where a man is free to do what he likes; the true, where he is free to do what he ought.”
