More quotes by Anthony Bourdain
I was a serious comic collector and fanboy as a kid. I wanted very badly to draw comic books for a lot of my childhood and early adolescence. So when you have an unfulfilled dream like that, when years later you find yourself in a position to make a graphic novel - hell yeah, I'm going to do that.

Do you really want to make risotto to order when you have eight guests sitting there? No. It won't work. Most cookbooks won't tell you that. They will say make it and it will come out perfectly. They should tell you you're probably going to screw it up the first 10 times you make it.

You realize after you travel enough that there's some things that, no matter how good you are at making television, no matter how good your cameras are, how well it's edited, there's no way the lenses could have captured the moment, and there's no way you will ever be able to write about it and do it justice.
Anthony Bourdain
Very few restaurant workers could even dream of eating in the restaurants they work in. Many do not make a living wage.
Anthony Bourdain
I wouldn't want to compare myself to David Byrne whom I consider a genius, but what I think what we have in common is that he's also a guy who is very interested in the world and who has a lot of passions beyond singing and playing guitar.
Anthony Bourdain
The Italians seem to have a better attitude with kids and the food is great!
Anthony Bourdain
Is there a sharper commentary on American culture and the world than The Simpsons?
Anthony Bourdain
I managed to reach a depth of self-loathing that usually takes a night of drinking to achieve.
Anthony Bourdain
Just because we are not Italian, does not mean we cannot appreciate Michelangelo, it is the same with cuisine.
Anthony Bourdain
The fact of the matter is that, for years, the restaurant and service industry has been, to a great extent, built on the backs of often underpaid immigrants of often dubious legal status.
Anthony Bourdain
The journey is part of the experience - an expression of the seriousness of one's intent. One doesn't take the A train to Mecca.
Anthony Bourdain
Skills can be taught. Character you either have or you don't have.
Anthony Bourdain
Everything important I learned, I learned as a dishwasher.
Anthony Bourdain
I try to very hard to avoid a situation where I would be eating cat or dog I've managed to gracefully avoid that. It's hypocritical of me and an arbitrary line, but one that I have managed to avoid crossing.
Anthony Bourdain
