Modeling for me was not fulfilling. I didn't see the point - although I was able to travel a great deal. I lived in Italy Germany and Spain but I wasn't devoted to it.

The type of cuisine I do especially after being on 'Iron Chef' for several years is a lot of global cuisine. My strength has always been Mediterranean cuisine across the board from Morocco Spain Italy Greece France but I think now I'm doing a lot of very different cuisines all the time.

And it is because a series of elements in Spanish life which operate today the same way as they did in the times of Blanco White made obvious my relationship with him based on a similarity in Spain's condition.

I've been working at performing for five years now. I've been working in Australia and Spain and England. When I was only 15 or 16 1 was performing in bars I could have had legal problems but it's also the only way to get to know what music is all about.

In Spain we should have enough intelligence enough sense of individual and collective responsibility to do for ourselves that which would be imposed upon us by a dictatorship.

I am not quite sure where home is right now. I do have places in London and Milan and a house in Spain. I guess I would say home is where my mother is and she lives in Spain.

I loved everything about Spain - the people the language and the food!

Creole is New Orleans city food. Communities were created by the people who wanted to stay and not go back to Spain or France.

There are pockets of great food in Spain but there are also pockets of very mediocre food in Spain and the same in Morocco and the same in Croatia and the same in Germany and the same in Austria.

Spain is finding it very difficult to finance itself with sovereign debt risk premium so high.

You go to a restaurant in the States and kids have these game boards at the table. You don't see that in Italy or Spain. It's not because they can't afford to buy them it's because that's not what eating together as a family is about.

After the desperate years of their own war after six years of repression inside Spain and six years of horror in exile these people remain intact in spirit. They are armed with a transcendent faith they have never won and yet they have never accepted defeat.

The failure of Christianity in the areas west from Sicily was even greater and was increased by the spread of Arab outlooks and influence to that area and especially to Spain.

I cook croquetas and I eat jamon. I keep my diet 100% Mediterranean and drink my Rioja. In that sense I have a piece of Spain in West Hollywood.

I just went off for two months traveling around Europe on a motorcycle and pretty much turned my phone off. I did 5 000 miles with my dad. We went through Holland Germany Austria Slovenia Croatia Bosnia Montenegro Italy... and then I did Spain and France by myself.

The Philippines is a terrible name coming from Spain. Phillip II was the father of the inquisition who I believe died of syphilis. It is my great regret that we didn't change the name of our country.

Coming in solemn beauty like slow old tunes of Spain.
