I hope the cooks who are working for me now are getting that kind of experience so they can use what they're learning now as a foundation for a great career.

I'm pretty focused on my career and if it comes down to hanging out with somebody or learning my lines it's gonna be learning my lines.

I'm still at the beginning of my career. It's all a little new and I'm still learning as I go.

Wisdom is a kind of knowledge. It is knowledge of the nature career and consequences of human values.
