I've never been able to contemplate failure. Success is everything.

When you cook it should be an act of love. To put a frozen bag in the microwave for your child is an act of hate.

As a child, I gained the deepest understanding of food, without even knowing it.

I had the archetypal French bucolic upbringing, in a peasant village in deepest Burgundy.

Success isn't permanent and failure isn't fatal.

Growth comes in the aftermath of failure, not wild success.
