I'm A Sucker For Fried Chicken -

Whenever I'm In Sync With The Trends, It's Always An Accident. I Still Love Wearing Clothes I've Had For Ten Years. I Think Understated Luxury Is The Chicest Thing.

An Oil Massage, A Hot Bath, A Good Night's Sleep, Soft Smells And Music And Clothes With Soft Textures Denote Sensuality To Me.

Miami, Which Has Already Aired, Has This Wonderful Blend Of Caribbean Culture And Latin American Culture And Southern American Culture (talking About Fried Chicken). All Those Combine To Make For A Very Very Interesting Array Of Ingredients, Restaurants, And The Chefs That Come There. It Also Has Great Seafood, Not To Mention The Glorious Citrus That's There. And All Those Things Inform What You Do - And They Should.

I Have Great Empathy For All The Contestants That Come On 'top Chef,' Whether They Go Home Right Away Or They Make It To The Finish Line. It's A Very Vulnerable Position They Put Themselves In And I Feel For Them.

I'm Not Attached To Things At All. I'm Very Lucky To Have Quite A Few Beautiful Things, But If I Look Back At My Life, I Was Often Happiest When I Had Very Little.
