• Let's say you have some chicken stock and you're making soup, and out of everything you can taste, some of the things you put in and some of the things you don't.

And the result depends on how much of each spice you put into it. Now, I've been putting in spices since I started playing professionally in 1945.

• I really, really love China. To be honest, the food is so amazing!

It was something that I became obsessed with and when I came back to the States, I did all this research for the best soup dumplings in the Los Angeles area and in the New York area and it was amazing to find those Asian dishes that were authentic and I can enjoy them at home.

• What we want, we have for our pains
  The promise that if we but wait
  Till the want has burned out of our brains,
  Every means shall be present to state;
  While we send for the napkin the soup gets cold,
  While the bonnet is trimming the face grows old,
  When we've matched our buttons the pattern is sold,
  And everything comes too late-too late.

  Fitz Hugh Ludlow

• I don't know how you perceive my mission as a writer, but for me it is not a responsibility to reaffirm your concretized myths and provincial prejudices. It is not my job to lull you with a false sense of the rightness of the universe. This wonderful and terrible occupation of recreating the world in a different way, each time fresh and strange, is an act of revolutionary guerrilla warfare. I stir the soup. I inconvenience you. I make your nose run and your eyes water.
