When I'm home in L.A., I go to La Brea, a bakery which does artisan breads, excellent sourdoughs primarily, but also patisserie and cakes.
The fine art of preparing sushi is something that you watch and learn.
If I am at home in L.A. on a Saturday or Sunday, I like to start the day with a hot bath and then do an hour of stretching.
Chefs are artists, and I couldn't be happy with my art if I was forced to use cheap ingredients.
My business partner Robert De Niro knows a lot about hotels; he opened the Greenwich Hotel in New York City.
Making sushi is an art, and experience is everything.
