Principles don't die. They aren't here one day and gone the next. They can't be destroyed by fire, earthquake or theft. Principles are deep, fundamental truths, classic truths.
I think of myself as a meat-and-potatoes kind of director.
I'm known for being quite gobby, but also, I'm quite old fashioned in the sense that I like writing letters.
I'm old-fashioned.
My parents had an old-fashioned ideal of college, that four years at a liberal arts college should be a liberal arts education.
Television's going, as far as I'm concerned, downhill, and I'm an anachronism.
I have the old-school mentality.
I wasn't manufactured. I was cut from the cloth of the very old world of gastronomy. There was no such thing as celebrity chefs, chefs were trained and I like to think that I still represent those old values from that world and the opportunities that I am offered I often say no to.
I still believe in old school values, I still believe in hard work, I still believe in wrestling, and people have showed that's what they want to see.
