[George] Orwell's essays. It's got it all. Great writing, a worldview that I find interesting and useful, and most of it timelessly true.

More quotes by Anthony Bourdain
I always entertain the notion that I'm wrong, or that I'll have to revise my opinion. Most of the time that feels good sometimes it really hurts and is embarrassing.
Anthony Bourdain
The cooking profession, while it's a noble craft and a noble calling, 'cause you're doing something useful - you're feeding people, you're nurturing them, you're providing sustenance - it was never pure.
Anthony Bourdain
Luck is not a business model.
Anthony Bourdain
The roots of creativity of cooking are hungry people trying to figure out how to take something that's not particularly fresh or tender and transform it into it something delicious that everyone will love.
Anthony Bourdain
Never try to get your kid to eat anything she doesn't already want to eat. Just eat interesting stuff in front of her while completely ignoring her. Never, ever suggest try it. Never say those dreaded words try it, it's good. Or worse, It's good for you. That'll poison the well.
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.
Anthony Bourdain
Everything important I learned, I learned as a dishwasher.
Anthony Bourdain
Only Texans and Jews understand brisket
Anthony Bourdain
I wasn't that great a chef, and I don't think I'm that great a writer.
Anthony Bourdain
I feel that if Jacques Pepin shows you how to make an omelet, the matter is pretty much settled. That's God talking.
Anthony Bourdain
I'm really happy to see the explosion of interest in Korean food, and this hybrid Korean-American food.
Anthony Bourdain
There are very sophisticated, very time-consuming dishes to prepare always from scratch, and always in excess of what you could possibly need. You tend to kill your guests with kindness around here.
Anthony Bourdain
I wanted it to look like real cooking in someone's real home or just so out-of-there bizarre that it would be fun.
Anthony Bourdain
If you have a good experience in a restaurant, you tell 2 people. If you have a bad experience, you tell 10 people.
Anthony Bourdain
When you have a child you're no longer the star of the movie.
Anthony Bourdain
I don't think people should be encouraged to look like Kate Moss I think that's unreasonable. I think the normal human body should be glorified. By the same token, if you need a stick to wash yourself, you're not healthy.
Anthony Bourdain
My tastes in what I eat at home would be very familiar to most people who cook for families. I just organize those things a little bit differently.
Anthony Bourdain
My love of soft, runny cheese - it's impossible to resist.
Anthony Bourdain
Big stuff and little: learning how to order breakfast in a country where I don't speak the language and haven't been before - that's really satisfying to me. I like that.
Anthony Bourdain
Writing anything is a treason of sorts.
Anthony Bourdain
