Takeru Kobayashi Quotations

I just want to compete and do what I love.

The one thing that's broken inside of me is that I've lost the signal most people have to feel hungry or feel full.

I was able to participate in New York Fashion Week and walk down the runway. I participated in a pizza contest in Canada.

I just grill chicken and make very simple cuisine.

I could easily go one or two days without realizing that I'm so, so hungry. That's the negative outcome of what I've become.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a baseball player.

If you taste something, you're not at the maximum of your ability. What I think about in competition is temperature and texture. It has nothing to do with taste or emotion.

About three months before a contest, I drink a lot of water. I start to drink a lot of water.

I realized crime isn't the only way you can judge people. People can do good things, and people can do bad things. It's probably better to understand people for the good things they do.

I've been to the Empire State Building with four friends, and it was very beautiful at that time around midnight.
