We knew the time would come that we'd have to step down because we'd been winning Oscars for 15 years. I discovered this one day when I got home, my mother was reading a newspaper and she said, 'Again? What are you doing in the papers?' And I realized if my mother thought that of me, what would my enemies think?

At one point cinema and photography weren't treated as art. Now it's crazy to think they're not. The key question is What is art today? The most important artists of the last 20 years are Steve Jobs and Jonathan Ive, because the influence they have had is incredible and they've changed the world. That is art.

We want to share our work so that future generations can cook and create a more efficient, easy and unquestionable quality.
