“If you do the right thing – the right thing will happen to you.”

“All my restaurants need to have a connection to art and architecture. It’s what I call gesamtkunstwerk – when all the elements play together.”

“The only difference between my restaurants and my house is that there’s money involved in my restaurants.”
