"The biggest compliment I ever got for my food was when Bill Grimes said 'New York never knew about Austrian food and now we can't live without it!' "
"If you do the right thing - the right thing will happen to you."
"All my restaurants need to have a connection to art and architecture. It's what I call gesamtkunstwerk - when all the elements play together."
"The only difference between my restaurants and my house is that there's money involved in my restaurants."
